Date: 9/7/12 11:16 AM I love this fabric on this dress at Neiman Marcus (see pic below) Here is a link to the dress on the website. It is described as "nylon polyester", but that is kind of vague. It sort of looks like a shiny shantung. Does anyone know what type of fabric it is? Thanks. -- Edited on 9/7/12 11:16 AM --

Mood has some a large selection online. -- Edited on 9/7/12 9:43 PM -- ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

Net-a-Porter.com provided a better description: it's a multi-colored floral-print taffeta that is 84% nylon, 16% polyester; lining: 100% silk. Here is some similar at Mood.com here and here. Pretty pricey, but gorgeous! So you could see why a synthetic designer dress would cost that much. ------ Erica B. Birmingham, AL http://www.ericabunker.com
