Yuuko Ichihara - Shawl #8

shopping in Oporto, the purple is for the underskirt.

When I travelled to Oporto, I tell the whole story in my previous post, Hokuto Sumeragi - Mad Hatter #3, I found this silky purple scrap in the scraps bin. It's not exactly what I was looking for, but it's pretty close. It's a very thin crunched taffeta, and I will have to paint on the pattern, but I'm satisfied with it.

+ it's a nice thin texture, it will work nicely as the underskirt, it's purple (why is it so hard to find purple fabrics?) and was a nice price.
- I'm not a fan of this purple tone, I'd rather it was more eggplanty or violet, and the crunched texture is annoying, but I can press it out. I will have to hand paint the pattern, it will take some time...

THE CUNNING PLAN
Find a nice and affordable fabric for the over skirt, I will only start working on the skirt when I have it.
