100% silk 41" wide
Twill silk of this weight is great for men's waistcoats but may also be used for women's petticoats, gowns and jackets. In The Virginia Gazette of 1752, "ran away . . . a lusty well-looking Servant Woman . . . born in England, and took with her when she went away . . . an old quilted Petticoat of brown Shalloon, covering a yellow Silk, some of which appears, and lin'd with yellow Stuff". Ivory silk thread will melt into this when hand sewing.
