Swatch next to "motif" fabric
So one swatch arrived! It looks great next to the "motif" fabric, they are practically identical in color. Pardon the funny lighting in my photo, I have very poor light in my room and must make do as I am able.
Pros: Color match and pre-crinkled.
Cons: It's cotton, and rather costly per yard.
I will have to see what the next swatch is like, as it's a crinkle taffeta in teal and I think that light gloss taffeta has would match the shimmer in the "motif".
On a downside, the really lovely sequin teal chiffon I was admiring does not have a swatch option. Do I take the plunge and buy it hoping that it's a match? Or do I not? Decisions, decisions... It's a smaller quantity because it will only be used on the sleeves, but still...
