Does this jacquard read expensive to you, or does the shine push it the other way?

I keep going back and forth on this one.

The weave looks clean, the motif has good separation, and the pattern scale feels controlled. But the ground is so reflective that the fabric changes a lot from flat stack to draped shot. In one photo it reads polished. In another it starts to feel a little costume-y.

I’m not asking what you’d make with it. I mean just the fabric itself. When you look at a jacquard like this, does that high-shine surface help the fabric look richer, or does it start fighting the motif?
