How about a little theatre group? I have used some truly ugly polyester stuff
as a costume for the movie a friend is making. It isn't historical, but then
the movie isn't either. Some little theatre groups put on plays from the 50's

for longer than I care
to admit. Even taught it for a while some years back. Some of the newer
fabric paints may do the job, but I wouldn't bet on it. You might try using
regular acrylic paints as a second coat as they are made to stick to plastic

I have a plus size friend who can whip up a sideless surcote in a heartbeat.
She makes them just below the knee and wears a blouse (or t-shirt) under it
like a jumper. They look so good, I keep saying I am going to make some
myself, but I never seem to get around to sewing for me.

That is cruel! There is a William Morris fabric in that lot that would be

Corn - the new peanut. Sounds like they are trying to make corn into

However, thin, not stretcy fabric sounds good and the dress in the picture
