Fabric on walls WILL collect dust. Short straw gets to vacuum the walls... On Tuesday, March 15, 2016, Brian L. Stuart via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I would advise caution in the selection of material. If you get something relatively fine-woven it will be a lot less likely to collect dust, though relative immunity from static buildup helps there too (and is probably a good idea anyway, considering the nature of the collection, heh!)

I'd also suggest getting a sample and doing some test photography with it. There are some fabrics that flashes go through in such a way that the fabric almost becomes transparent. The photograph of me receiving my bachelor's degree has a really bizzare effect from the cheap rental robe where it appears you can see right through my leg.
