   Hi everyone, this forum seems marvelous and I’m excited to expand my knowledge on all things vintage. I’ve accumulated a few pieces of vintage that I’m trying to date/learn more on and this is one of them.
   
   the fabric seems almost chromatic in some ways. Trying to learn more on the type of fabric as well as a value! Thank you in advance

   Do you mean it changes colour depending how the light falls on it? It might be a changeant fabric like shot silk

   It looks like an iridescent taffeta or shot silk depending on the fiber content. Can you post a photo of the interior and reverse of the fabric?
