I had one of those neat synchronicity moments recently: I thought to myself, "Huh! I bet you could make an iridescent with more than just 2 colors. Why don't they?" and the next day, I picked up a fabric order that included some iridescent silk taffeta, which to my surprised delight was a _3_ color iridescent. It looked taupe, but was actually pink and green weft on black warp. Very cool!
I remember a gown in a 1994-5 Viennese exhibit (Modeschauraum des Historischen Museums der Stadt Wein) that was 3 color shot silk moire taffeta. This 1850 gown appears as old rose in color. It was actually grey & pink crossed by soft blue. The gown is reprinted in the booklet/catalog is "Vom Empire zur Belle Epoque, Wiener Damenmode (1805-1910)", but you cant tell how delightful the result truly is. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
