This is a gorgeous dressy brocade from Anna Sui, a lovely black matelasse texture in modern rectangle pattern with shiny and matte areas. Even more striking and beautiful in real life! Malleable with some crispness, not stiff, but does have enough body for tailoring. Opaque suiting weight, perfect for an evening jacket or coat, vest or bodice of a gown, perhaps. Dry cleaning recommended. 9 yards available.
