railroaded,   which means that the pattern, the tea pots along the bottom run the entire 4 1/2 yards   AND NOT left to right.  This print

is so sweet!  Romantic floral, roses and tea pots and tea cups.   The colors set on a crisp black background are rose, mauve, beige

dark green and a faint "pea" green.    Again, it measures 4 1/2 yards x 44inches wide.   This would make for a stunning kimono

style loose cover up, with the cute tea pots at the bottom hem.   Please see photos.   The selvage along the bottom is a good 2 1/2 inches of solid black before you see a teapot, plenty of space for a hem.   "Shabby Chic" ,Cottage Style sheer curtains would be so pretty. It is sheer.  Lovely piece of fabric , nice quality.   Thank you for shopping my items.
