It was awesome and I would have felt like a million in it. But I kept saying "Where would I wear it?" Ha! I would wear it to work, to the store..anywhere as long as it wasn't too hot (weatherwise) to wear it.

The web description said it had metallic threads, yum! However, IRL it had a shiny coating that was verry plastic. Totally unsuitable for the tropics, like wearing a plastic bag!! However, for someone who is not a menopausal woman and doesn't live in the tropics- for example you, Peter! I'd say go for it. Or, as they apparently say in Newfoundland, "Fill yer boots".Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471643987029247042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-90695534334435609212013-03-18T02:05:22.067-04:002013-03-18T02:05:22.067-04:00I have the gold on blck version of this fabric and...I have the gold on blck version of this fabric and it is exquisite - so much classier than any other metallic fabric.
