LadyBrower Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think I would really enjoy a nice silk mantua for special occasions... But I don't really know what I am looking for. Googling didn't turn up any good, definitive answers. Does anyone have any insight to share? I was thinking silk taffeta, but I can't figure out if it is period or not.

Capt. Sterling Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 silk taffeta is period "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cat Jenny Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think this is a little later.. but the blue is pretty I do like silk taffeta Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...

LadyBrower Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 oooh. That is pretty. Is that embroidered or painted? I'll be going with Silk taffeta. I haven't decided what color though.

Red Cat Jenny Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Im not sure...but I've decided I like the stripes as well. I think silk taffeta is in my future :) warm colors would look good on you. peaches, roses, etc Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood.

I just don't think I'll be allowed to do anymore red. =P (EVERYTHING is red...) I had been thinking of going with a darker blue or medium green (I have hazel eyes) but I can't decide. I have some pretty fabric given to me at lockhouse that is inspiration- i want to utilize my piece as a stomacher. I'll take a picture of it when I have a chance.

Kate Souris Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I did send you the link to the eBay seller that has the 99 colours of silk taffeta, didn't I? I plan on ordering some of the gold/pink I think. I don't care if I am not allowed any more pink. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBrower Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I did look at them. Have you ordered? I'm afraid of ordering from thailand and such. They make me nervous. I forgot you said pink was OK. Maybe that's what I'll do... (Pink and Red are my favorite colors....)

Kate Souris Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I haven't yet. But I think they had a good seller rating (it was yesterday....I'm having trouble remembering ten minutes ago)...so it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
