   In the Delphos dress, Fortuny's famous pleated gown, very light silk was used. But Fortuny closely guarded his secret way to do the pleating. For a similar look, but not quite so expensive, nylon or polyester fabrics can be used. See Sarah McFarland's interview with Designer Babette Pinsky for more information on the techniques that can be used: https://www.threadsmagazine.com/2011/12/23/the-talk-is-pleating-with-designer-babette-pinsky

   Mariano Fortuny also typically used glass beads to edge his garments. Learn how to create this type of edging here: threadsmagazine.com/2014/03/17/how-to-make-fortuny-style-beaded-edges

   Hope this helps!
