thanks everybody for your responses. I have a Butterick pattern for a little evening jacket i thought I would make up in the silver grey moire silk.. I mentioned a longer style coat to E.D. in the purple velvet but she said no thanks, i mIght look like Willy Wonka!? I dont know any old ladies who could help, Im scared of wasting the material by ruining the garment, but I suppose the way to look at is that it has been lying around for years, no use to anybody, why store it my airing cupboard for another 50 years?
Joan. There is about 2.75 M of the grey fabric but I need to extend the pattern all over for the 6ft daughter!
