The photographs from Musée des Arts Décoratifs turned out blurry and dark, so instead I have for you a full account of all the fabrics I bought in Paris. There was a huge sale on coupons in one of the stores, so I splurged on quite a few silks that ended up being only around €5,- per meter. The only ones I didn’t take photos of are a black and steel gray silk. They’re not much to look at, but will make beautiful linings for some of the other silks.

-
- Silk twill, 2,5 m. For this I’m envisioning high-waisted, wide legged trousers and perhaps a pencil skirt from the left overs.
-
- Silk voile, 3 m. Slightly transparent. I think it will be a drapy vintagy blouse.
-
- Silk chiffon, 1.5 m. Intended for a flowy blouse.
-
- Cotton, 1.5 m. It’s probably going to be a blouse.
-
- Cotton, 3 m. This is going to be the Tiki Dress from Gertie’s New Book for Better Sewing.
-
- Cotton, 1,5 m. This is going to be a simple button-up shirt.
-
- Cotton, 3 m. This is going to be a shirt for my boyfriend and perhaps one for me if there’s enough.
