Terminology Request!

For wishkey or suenix or other fabric and sewing-philes on the flist. What's the name of this kind of fabric? *whistles innocently*

Why yes, auntiemeesh and I were talking costuming at dinner after our run last night. Why would you ask? ;) Meeshie has the best costume ideas! :)

When I first saw it I thought it looked like silk and wool blend in a kind of basket weave. The specific fabric probably had a name but I can't recall it. It may have been treated to make it stiffer than the fabric is. You might be able to recreate the look with something from either the bridal fabrics or drapery fabrics. Unless you want to spend a lot of money though I don't think you could find the real deal. If I have time I'll look around my place of employment (which happens to be a big fabric store) just to satisfy my own curiousity at least.

hm, yeah on close up view the only thing I could tell was that it looked expensive ;) I'll have to look at some more screencaps to see if their dresses are made of the same or if it was just the shawls/cawls. The dresses looked plainer, but it was dark.
