Absolutely beautiful. Makes me wish I didn't just buy my other silk from the silk baron company.

Absolutely luxurious fabric! I can’t stop stroking it, it’s so nice. And when I wanted to add another yard to my order, the seller quickly responded and adjusted my order. It also arrived earlier than expected. If you need silk fabric, this is the shop! Thank you again!

Lovely, nice quality fabric, appropriate thickness that I would expect. Definitely happy, and the cut of fabric was a liberal 1/4 yard, so there was some wiggle room in the measurement. Will make a lovely outside covering for the bra I am making.
