A length of piece dyed silk, Mallinson tradename 'Molly O Crepe", in tan. Satin-faced crepe (or crepe-backed satin) fabric which can be made up either as a crepe or satin with the reverse side forming a suitable trimming. Selvage width; selvage inscription. The H.R. Mallinson company was well known for introducing new textures and weave effects in its product line. These were the 'novelties' as opposed to fabrics such as Pussy Willow and Indestructible Voile, which were the company's staple products and remained in the line for years, even decades. This solid-color fabric coordinates with print colors used in the Mallinson National Park series of printed dress silks.
