I think I changed my mind

Back in September, I had the urge to make a court gown, but that urge didn't last long. Today however, I found a 1798 plate that I really like. For a court gown, it's really simple, but it's yellow and pretty. Though again I'm back at the problem of not being able to find a buttercup yellow taffeta.

I'm not including this in my list of stuff for 2009, because I have absolutely no idea when I'll be working on it.

Depending on what exactly the taffeta is made of if you get it in white like if its not synthetic I can hand dye it...

I wouldn't mind but theres a margin of error with the color once I put the setting chemicals in.

But I wouldn't mind doing it. I love dying fabric and watching the fabric's color change.

And I already have a nice selection of dyes.

Let me know if you ever want anything dyed. I'd be happy to accommodate you. (my school provides all the extra chemicals so use me while i'm still at mica and have endless resources)

I'll keep that in mind. I still need to spend an afternoon in New York sometime soon, so I might be able to find it there. But online and ebay searches have proved fruitless so far. I've only been able to find lemon yellow, which is a cooler shade than I want.
