Dear List
I am about to make a final (i.e. not in calico/muslin) robe a la francaise: its
primary purpose will be display for photographs and showing at wedding fairs
etc., to try and persuade people that period clothing is lovely etc etc. Now
I'm swithering about fabric - the two choices are a) expensive, pretty and
therefore out of my league, realistically or b) sort of appropriate, synthetic
and more obtainable.
Since I'll end up having to use a cheaper fabric this time around, does anyone
have recommendations on what is more appropriate? OK, I can't be completely
authentic but I'd rather avoid something that screams 'upholstery' and puts of
anyone who knows anything about the period.
(Suppliers in the UK would be stupendous, but even links to pics of
semi-appropriate would be terribly useful and appreciated).
Many thanks!
Katherine
