Fabric Dilemma/Offer

I fell in love with a fabric from Carolina Calicoes, and tempted by the relatively cheap price, I finally got a bunch of it. I'm trying to continue my forays into the 18th century. So mostly I'm treating this dress as a pretty one that lets me get more experience in 18th-century styles while not having (self-imposed) expectations of super-accuracy for every single feature.

This is the fabric:


I called it rose pink. What does it look like to you?

It just arrived today, and it's definitely peach. A light-colored not-orange peach, but I sure wouldn't call it salmon.  And while I can get away with most colors, peach does very little for me. Particularly when compared to what rose pink does do.

Other than that, it feels like a nice-quality home dec print, so a bit heavier than I expected, but it would have a nice drape for the overskirt I was planning to do. It's not polished, either, but it does have a sheen. I was planning to wash it to see if it will soften a bit, and also to get out the slight cigarette smell. :( (I understand the owner has had it in stock for quite a while.)

So. I'm feeling a bit meh about this. It was to be worn at Costume College on Saturday, and also for the Georgian Picnic in November. But while I don't hate it, it's definitely not what I had in mind!

Any ideas? Or is anyone interested? I know there are a lot of people on my f-list who make peach look smashing, so I thought I'd ask. It was originally $6/yard, but I'm interested in offers. I don't need the money so much, but it makes me sad to see it. :(

ETA: I can definitely add pictures of it, too! Close up, and draped, etc. And this is the dress that gave me the inspiration. Nothing ground-breaking, but I'm still taken by it. :)

Alternative

I took a look at my stash, and I found 4 yards of warm rose pink wool. I checked and I can get a reasonable trained skirt (open) out of 3 yards, and the remaining 1 yard is sufficient for bodice and sleeves from the J. P. Ryan pattern.

As for the petticoat, I just got today the 1.5 yards of cream striped silk taffeta I gleaned from demode's online garage sale. I got it just for the eventuality of needing a nice neutral petticoat - I think it's here!

Cons:
- The wool is gabardine. Not period (as far as I'm aware) for dresses, at least.
- When I bought it, I was thinking of a nice warm Regency dress or pelisse.

Pros:
- Pink that's pretty on me!
- Just enough fabric for the design I want, in a fabric that requires NO matching or careful layout.
- Perfect period accuracy wasn't to be my goal for this project. (I just hate what my mind imagines others are thinking!)
- I don't need 4 yards for a warm Regency dress (Even the November picnic has always been warm, and I have a red cloak all ready to go when our luck stops), and it's really too lightweight for a decent pelisse. Besides, my vision for a pelisse now involves the fox-dyed fur trim I got last year in the garment district, and that MUST go with blue wool!
