Browsing eBay I came across a nice piece that was listed as polyester fabric.
To the seller I wrote, "Polyester varies quite a bit. Some have a stiff texture like sailcloth or taffeta, some are shiny and smooth like satin, and others have a soft silky feel like nylon. What is this one like?".
This sort of question would not have occurred to me a few years ago, or at least not in this detail. I'm sure others have experienced this kind of growth in awareness of clothing and other aspects of the femme world.
