Dear Leila,
Pongees in London sells silk faille - in ivory.  You could then have it
dyed to the exact colour.

Dear Tom,

I spotted your e-mail on the tex-con.  I am looking for a silk type
Grosgrain fabric for the back of a folding screen.  The front is silk
aubusson tapestry.  Color: dusty peach.  

I have found good fabrics cotton/poly in upholstery shops but not the
right color.

Do you have any suggestions??  I left a message about this with Verlene
last week but no word has been received yet.

I would appreciate any help you might provide in finding a grosgrain or
faille fabric.

Thank you very much.
