This afternoon's shopping trip with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blondeccgirl culminated in the purchase of acres of beautiful silk dupion (that slightly bobbly silk - cruelty-free since it involves the death of no silkworms, according to M). It's scarlet shot with purple, so it mostly looks darkish red, and slightly shimmery. I have a small piece of it beside me as I type, and it's very lovely indeed. The trip was especially fun for seeing the slight double-take of the sales assistants on realising this was for a wedding dress, not a bridesmaid's dress: it seems that getting married in a colour other than white or ivory is still quite unusual.
secretrebel - there was also some rather gorgeous chiffon with embroidered butterflies, and I would have bought you some if it hadn't been £35 a metre. Sorry ;-)
