Remember this fabric, I found what it has to be made into.

“A LADY’S BODICE OF BLUE SILK BROCADE
POSSIBLY DUTCH, FIRST HALF OF THE 18TH CENTURY “

I’m hoping I’ll have enough for this bodice since it looks very simple but still have enough yardage to be able to make a later style 18th century jacket to go over my blue quilted petticoat. I’m hoping they will have more photosif I buy the auction catalog. Maybe not…

Oooo… I need to plan a gown for this fabric. It followed me home.

All the fabrics are collected for a new Victorian outfit for one of my clients. The three tier-skirt is in progress and I look forward to sharing photos as things progress.

A lovely, deep & rich purple-shot-with-black silk taffeta:

I have a limited amount of this but can buy more if a project demanded a lot of yardage.

Blue & Silver with floral design damask:

I fell in love with this fabric, as it screams “make me into an 18th century gown!”, but alas, there was only 5 yards total on the bolt. We searched the store in hopes of finding another remnant hiding between the cracks. No such luck. I have to nix the robe a la française style or make it for a child. A miniature sample gown isn’t such a bad idea…

A potential client was looking at this blue fabric but it turns out the color doesn’t suit the wedding party colors. Now the fabric is screaming out to me to make a project from it, particularly because I have this lovely matching piece of satin charmeuse. I have 2.5 yards of the blue – it would make a lovely jacket, or skirt, or or…

This fabric has found a new home! I look forward to making a lovely victorian corset from a portion of my supply of this fabric. Enough will be left for another corsetry project or smallish garment if you fancy this fabric and still want to contact me about a project.

I’ve promised some updates to the site and I’ve gotten one started. I’ll be uploading more photos and descriptions to the fabric stash pages as time allows.
