SPECIAL ORDER ONLY (just takes an extra day or so): This wonderful cloth is far more gorgeous in real life---the photo doesn't do it justice. Made in Italy, this fabric begins with delicately embroidered black cotton (lightweight, semi-sheer) and the surface is coated with an antique silver metallic, creating a unique and beautiful effect. The fabric is light with a somewhat crisp drape and it's perfect for a shirt, tunic, pouffy skirt (should be lined), shawl, etc. Dress up or down! Dry cleaning recommended; if you choose to hand wash, please test first. Too expensive for me to stock, but I would be happy to order it for you.
