I inherited some of what I believe is purple cloth-of-silver. It has a purple silk warp and a silver-plated copper weft. It doesn't drape worth diddly, and hangs slightly angular, not smooth, and it catches the light differently than silk does. At this point I can identify it in a clear historical photo. I wouldn't want to sit in a garment made of it, because the wrinkles would never come out. I keep my piece on a roll so it won't kink or wrinkle. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
