I've had it in my mind for a couple of years to have a sort of vaguely dressy outerwear jacket made of something that looks like that dark copper colored acetate I see at Joanns. However, that fabric says "dry clean only" and I don't feel like dealing with that.
Question 1:
Is this a suitable fabric for this purpose, as far as water resistance, stain resistance (probably not the latter)? If not water resistant, does it dry readily?
Question 2:
If not this particular synthetic, what? Silk dupion might be an option, if I can get in in a proper color. Don't know the fabric care needs of that either.
