Fabric from Gamble #2

The Goodwill Gamble #2 auction brought this 3D sequinned floral to me, which was probably the best item in the lot. I would price this piece, which is entirely entact and in pristine condition, at what I paid for the entire lot.

The floral motifs are attached to a layer of almost invisible tulle, so they seem to float in the air. I'll have to come up with a special project in which I can use this gorgeous fabric.

Here are the cotton fabrics came in the lot; mostly scraps. I didn't bother to measure them, but I'd say about three to four yards total.

A large assortment of synthetic fabrics, mostly polyester and elastane, also came in the lot. They're a bit too thin for outerwear; maybe the original owner was making slips or nighties from these. Interesting patterns.
