elizabeth_mnI picked up my satin at work yesterday.
It's thick but light, with crisp and and airy drape. Definitely not liquid like a charmeuse. The color is a deep, eye-popping pink. I got 7 yards, so I'll have plenty for the 12th Night gown and then hopefully enough for a robe a l'anglaise next year. It's 54" wide, so probably!
I am embarrassed to admit what I spent on it, but I did get to use my employee discount, so yay for that! I am waiting until my next payday to get the organza and the other fabrics I will need. We have the perfect shade of acid green silk satin ribbon, but it's too narrow, and plus it's kind of droopy, so I think I may experiment with dyeing some taffeta to make "ribbons."
