Just curious. When did Duponi Silk come into common use? If I used it on a 18th century skirt would it just be sacrilege?  I may do it anyway because its what I have in stash but it would make me feel better knowing I am doing it on purpose vs. doing it cause I don't know better.

1920's for dupioni. But no, as long as it's not too slubby, it's fine for 18th c.

Thanks. That is a big help. Its not something easily googled... or at least I couldn't figure out the right combination of key words to get it.
