But still so very, very pretty, fabric "modeled from an embroidered traveling suit worn by King Gustav II Adolf, the Swedish king that ruled 1615-1632".

from another list "> Converting that, it's about $550/cdn/us per metre

> the printed version on silk."

There are days when I'm kind of glad I can't sew, or I'd be re-arranging my budget to buy some of that.

I know the people from that company--two of them were at last year's European Textile Forum. They say that they will happily make you fabric in any style or pattern you want, you have only to give them the specs of what you are looking for.

Good thing I'm not loving the 17th c right now. Ooooh the peril. My credit card cringes at the thought.

Oh. My.

That fabric is so very out of my budget. But I am tempted.
