Question:

What kind of fabric is this?

I'd like to find out what kind of fabric American Girl Doll Felicity's riding outfit is made ofDoes anyone know of a website where I could find out what it is without reading a mile-long list of fabric definitions? The outfit itself doesn't have any tags on it, so I can only judge the fabric by feel.In case you know a lot about fabrics, and could tell me right up front what it is, here's what it feels like:It feels something like thin wool, but it probably not 100% woolIt drapes nicelyIt has a tight weave, that reminds me of felt

The original outfit was made of a tropical wool suiting, plain weave, if I recall correctly; the Mattel version used acrylic in place of the wool, but similar fabricsIt's the stuff nice men's suits are made of, but in a forest green that's going to be hard to find; you might need to consider finding a white or cream and dyeing it with an acid dyeYou might also consider wool challis, particularly for the dress If you're into the deluxe hand sewing experience, try silk thread with theseit would have been traditional for the periodWool fabrics always drape nicely and sew wellThey're probably my favorite fabrics to sew with because they look so goodThe tropical wools are hard twist worsteds made of very fine yarns that feel almost silky to the touch (BTW, felt is not a woven fabric, and not what you want for this project.)
