Fabric issues.

isabelladangeloThe silk I ordered for the 1840's dress came today. There is one problem with it; it's not silk. It's very clearly polyester satin. So, I emailed the seller and asked him if he wanted the fabric back (since he lives in Canada, I really don't want to deal with the shipping) or if he'd consider a partial refund. If nothing else, the pink is actually perfect for the lining of the sleeves of the Isabel of Portugal dress. I might be able to get enough material out of the pink/purple silk I got for that project to make the 1840's dress, but a good part of me doesn't want to chance it and just look for something else prior to the date. I can make up a decent dress in a week...I've certainly done it before!
I also got the fabric for the Catherine Parr dress that I eventually want to do. I bought the fur for it over a year ago and have been looking for a decent semi-replica of the gown fabric. I have the forepart/false sleeves fabric as well. Now, to go buy stock in red velvet trim....
In totally unrelated news, I got a manicure and pedicure and I now have deep blue turquoise nails and toe nails. :-)
