Grateful, I suppose

[mmcnealy]

I suppose I should just be grateful that there is brocade fabric out there like that seen in so many of the Lucas Cranach the Elder's paintings

And not be bitching that its $71 a meter with a 10 meter minimum order


Talk about a period-style barrier to copying the fashions of the upper-crust. *big grin*

Of course there's lots of other 'almost good enough' brocades on there for much less, just not the one I want!

Where do you usually find your silk damasks?

G-street in DC, Ebay, and a couple of other online places. I have a couple of killer pieces that I got on clearance at G-street, a black and gold silk damask that was $80 a yard on clearance for 19.99, with an extra 25% off, and another that was $75 and they put in on the wrong table and I asked about it, and was told the wrong price, and when I had already had it cut and went to pay, they tried to charge me $300 (and that was with my 30% off coupon,) so my hubby told them what we were told was the price, had a fight with the manager, and they had to honor it.......wait for it........$8.00 a yard!
