of shiny! This is an opshop find from last week. $12 for 3.5m of .74m wide heavy satin brocade, never used but does have a few marks. I'm guessing it's quite old. Not silk but rayon. this is actually a good thing. Rayon satin is in my opinion, the most luxurious fabric for a summer robe. I had one in pale gold with dragons on that I wore to death. I've never found anything like the fabric again- until now. Silk is lovely but too hot for those of us with circulations- and less washable. I confess I'm a bit nervous about washing this though.
Isn't the detail intricate! There is a strange and varied combination of floral and foliate motifs. Roses, bamboo, cherry blossom, fir, tulips. All on the palest blue satin ground.
Also a different kind of sick. Yesterday I thought I was almost well. Today I'm clogged and coughing. Came home from work feeling woozy at lunchtime and have been taking in some quality couch time while mainlining time team episodes. It's a worry 'cause I'm supposed to be hosting Dr Q from tomorrow night.
