What's Christmas without a little bit of family dysfunction and chaos?? Enter our latest embroidered shantung, "Joan Crawford," a kaleidoscopic design featuring a taupe base decorated with magenta-and-white swirls that measure about 1" long. The fabric has a 4" repeat.

Joan Crawford often played the roles of hardworking young women who find romance and financial success. These rags-to-riches stories were well-received by Depression-era audiences and were especially popular with women, and consequently, she became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest-paid actresses of her time. However, her life was not without chaos and controversy, was some of her adopted children accused her, later in life, of being an abusive mother, and it was not long before their searing childhood memoir was adapted into the notorious film Mommy Dearest.
