Do you mean silk faille? I'd never heard of it being called Ottoman silk....learn something new everyday!

For example, I got some silk ottoman from them not too long ago: http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=AA036<http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=AA036> and it is perfect for anything structured. I haven't felt samples of their other ottomans, but they should be at least somewhat similar (though the sueded ones might not be quite right for the era): http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/Catalog_items.aspx?Query=silk%20ottoman<http://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/Catalog_items.aspx?Query=silk%20ottoman> Unfortunately, in order to find ribbed silks on the site, you have to know the correct term for that specific fabric, and right now I'm drawing a blank other than ottoman; they don't use any of the obvious terms like ribbed or grosgrain. Mostly, you need to order 1/8 yd as a sample in order to find out what a fabric is like, because fabrics with the same name/description/price/appearance can be wildly different. Also unfortunately, this sort of stuff rarely goes on sale! -E House _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume<http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
