Eva's journal

That gown looks so sumptuous - and I don't care about the grumps who look down on the use use of cotton velvet - I've seen and handled 100% silk velvet (in Stockholm, actually, at the silk mill and museum) that looked exactly like cotton velvet (it felt diffferent, but it looked the same). so substituting cotton velvet for costume use is good enough for me, as well as more affordable and washable.
