Printed Stripes?

[miss_philomena]

I bought some red and tan linen off of Ebay last month, intending to do a more casual, everyday polonaise with it. But when it arrived, it turned out that the red stripes are printed onto the solid tan fabric. So, is this completely not period, and therefore not appropriate for a polonaise? If I end up not using it for it's original purpose, it might end up in something steampunk-y, where it won't matter.
