Very sheer, lightweight cotton. It drapes like the picture. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Laurie Taylor Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 6:34 PM To: 'Historical Costume' Subject: [h-cost] Fabric suggestions - Marie Antoinette 1786 portrait
Hello, My mad scramble to get myself ready for Costume College left me with a new goal, but I'm very uncertain about fabric. I want to make this gown: http://www.ladyreading.net/marieantoinette/big/marie14a.jpg I know that there are other copies of this image on the web, but this was the first one I found just now. What fabric would you use for this? It is certainly semi-sheer, more so than voile. Silk chiffon would be too soft, silk organza possibly too stiff? I just can't decide. Laurie T.
