Change of Plans..

My parents just got a divorce :( and as if that's not bad enough by itself, a silicone tail is no longer an option. So I've decided to make a fabric tail. Does anyone know where I can find a fabric like this:

Well it doesn't really matter if it's crushed or not; it's only a visual preference. They stretch the same. ;)

Yeah it looks like a "crushed velvet" You can find it at Joanns for about 9.99 a yard.

There is an extension on the end of this tail of a transparent fabric. Much like a chiffon but you can find a look a like of a chiffon for much cheaper at Joanns.
