I am still trying to tie up lose ends here at the house then I am heading to Mary Jo’s once more to talk to someone there about the silk taffeta and if they can order me more of the sample that I picked up in June. I am also going to take another look at the laces that they have in stock. I was online again today looking for fabric stores and I found several up in NYC that may be able to help me and I have another one in Atlanta, and one in Asheville to check out. I would really prefer to purchase this from someplace where I can see it in person rather than over the internet.
I talked to the lady that I like to work with and she found a bolt of the fabric in white so she took a piece of mine and they will try to order it for me tomorrow. I need 46 yards altogether for the lining, the underdress and the outerdress. I still need to interline the under-dress and the outer-dress with something, I have been reading and I think the silk organza is a good option. It’s characteristics include stability and soft but substantial stiffening which I will need for the underdress as that is what the fluffs are attached to and for the fluffs themselves, Anna doesn’t want them too puffy, but we do want them to stand out and not flatten. We also discussed the Alencon lace. She spoke of the fabric store in Asheville and said many of their customers have found what then needed there as they carry different fabrics than Mary Jo’s so it looks like a trip to Asheville is in my future! That’s OK, I love going to different fabric stores. Actually whenever Anna and I go to NYC, she can expect a tour of the fabric stores if she is with me! I love to see what is out there!
