This looks like the chiffon velvet popular in the 1920s. That's the kind of style I'd use it for, and it wouldn't require tons of yardage.

Re: [h-cost] 100 percent silk velvet
Just as an FYI, I had a *VERY* bad experience with these people. I ordered quite a few samples of their red shades trying to get the exact right color for a project. I even spoke in length with one of their rep and sent emails with photos attached. I *STRESSED* that I was looking for true reds and any shades of pinks would be unacceptable. I paid for the samples and waited for them to arrive. What did I get? Lots of shades of pinks. Even three kinds of salmon pinks. When I contacted the rep again and tried to get the reds I requests I was met with nothing but rudeness. In the end she tried to get me to just order the dyed silk without a color match first and when I refused she basically berated me. I still have the emails saved somewhere.

Perhaps a sample through the snail mail would have been better as monitors will vary in color. This of coarse does not excuse rude behavior.

Re: [h-cost] 100 percent silk velvet
You are right, I might have sent them a color sample if they asked but what killed me was I stressed how much I was not looking for 'pink' and I got three different shades (along with some shade of red but none the color I wanted) of salmon pink with 'pink' in the color title. :p Traci On Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 7:36 PM, otsisto otsi...@socket.net wrote: Perhaps a sample through the snail mail would have been better as monitors will vary in color.
