I just received this announcement and thought that other members of
h-costume who live in the Washington D.C. area might be
interested. It's on the wrong coast for me. :'(

but there was further discussion and a name of the sheer linen (it was not
called batiste)was said and a site that sold it for roughly $25 a yard was
found.

The discussion I remember began when Julian Wilson (Hi, Julian!) mentioned that
he had bought some batiste

Hi De,
That *might* be the cambric I found. It's at least as light as batiste, if not
moreso. I can only get it wholesale and have to buy in bulk. In North America,
I get it from Ulster Linen. I believe they also have a parent company
somewhere in the UK.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, most patterns are made with a height of 5'6"
(66") in mind.

You are a treasure!

Then when i wanted to try them out, i noticed that the threads was not
stranded into smaller threads like Eternas silk floss. It was a solid thread
