I ordered the irredescent green shantung. The fabric has a lovely sheen to it and the color changes a little upon movement. I made a blouse with it and it came out quite nice. My order did take a longer time than usual to arrive.

Nice Fabric
I thought the material was high quality. I got the purple gold and you can see the purple nicely depending on how it hangs or the lights hit it. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
