I dug this out for using in the 6 PAC comp. It seems the fabric I remembered was entirely different when I checked the jacket it went in. I obviously had the same thought when I got it as I did when I dug it out

Wonder if taffeta would work when pattern suggests silk or rayon

Considering the ticket says £3 a meter I'm doubtful it's silk taffeta! The actual taffeta for the dress (bookmarked but luckily not purchased yet) is a beautiful silk taffeta and pricey.

I may give it a go, worst that happens is I cut it up and do some taffeta patchwork or appliqué if it's awful
