We came home with 20 yards of bleached white muslin for the under layers, 16 yards (the whole roll!) of poly poplin for the top layer of the skirt, and 2 yards of lace for the top layer of the corset.
As you can see, we're still going to have to battle the "shiny" on the lace...but at least the poplin is not as reflective as the taffeta or satin. I may continue to search for a matte-finish lace...so if anyone spots one, please let me know!
We also looked at the eco-friendly fabrics, since that was our original intent. Unfortunately, the only types they had were jersey knit and canvas! And I already have a canvas dress, I don't need another one! So sadly, we'll have to destroy the earth on this one. :P
