notes: label: Description
content: A length of warp-printed silk taffeta. An all silk stiff lustrous plain weave fabric with a warp face ribbed surface produced by warp yarns which are much finer and more numerous than the filling yarns. Allover floral design printed directly on the stretched warps before the fabric is woven; this gives an impressionistic blurred effect to the finished fabric. Colors:gray, brown, black and yellow, on a white ground.
