Taffeta goodness

elizabeth_mnYesterday at work I gave in and bought the taffeta. (Thanks for the recommendations!)
I bought out the bolt, 10.5 yards. This is a fabric that has been in the store for a couple years, and just recently got moved to the 50% off table. I thought I'd better snap up all of it; I'll probably need it all if I want to do a gown with matching petticoat and self-fabric ruffles. Besides, it came out to only $7.50/yd. Woo!
I'm still not 100% in love with the maroon, but still, it's striped silk taffeta so how could you go wrong?
I wanted to get the printed lawn, too, but by the time I made up my mind, there were only 2 yards left on the bolt. But I'm thinking of using a solid-color lawn (NOT white) for the dress instead.
