If only I could wear citrus colours

I've been looking for a fabric to re-cover a nylon modern parasol so I can use it at the regency festival in April. I found a fashion plate with a checked parasol & matching shawl, so I was searching for plaids or checks on FFC.

Now I know why my heart sang at the sight of a wool fabric there ... and yes I should have narrowed my search to silk. Enough waffle, it was because of this cloak at the Met and FFC's 25510




It's very sad that orange & yellow make me look like liver-failure. I love them but can't wear them so have citrus accents in my kitchen.

      Isn't it delicious. One of my friends (samoan) would look gorgeous in it.

    It's very disciplined of you not to purchase a fabric you love - I'm not practical enough to stick to colours that suit, my heart rules over my head

      It would be one way to be sent home from work sick ;) and a friends sister used to do that! For me though the postage would be way too much. It's $15 a yard (not metre) and the post would be 1.5-2 times that again. If it was local it would be very very hard to resist
