Beautiful drape, but snags easily
By happybird from Australia on September 25, 2011
I used this for my wedding dress, which is a 1920s
knee-length flapper-style dress. It drapes beautifully and has a
lovely subtle sheen - so it's perfect if you want something that
drapes well, but which doesn't highlight every lump and bump! It
was quite tricky to cut, because the fabric is very slippery and it
moved and pulled quite a lot. I had several interfacted sections in
the dress, and I found that the fabric seemed to shrink up
vertically with the iron-on interfacing. (I ironed on the
interfacing through a cotton tea-towel, using the "wool" setting on
the iron.) I found that the best solution to this was to cut the
fabric pieces slightly larger than the pattern, then iron on the
interfacting, and then mark the stitching lines with tracing paper
from the paper pattern. This alleviated the shrinkage problem and
also the fact that the fabric slid around quite a bit - and it made
sure that the sticthing lines were accurate. The fabric sews very
well using an fine 70-grade needle - I used regular seams with
overlocked edges rather than French seams and it worked
beautifully. The only downside to this fabric is that it pulls
*very* very easily, so I've had to be super careful while working
with it - and even so, I've still managed to get a couple of tiny
pulls. So while it's perfect for a wedding dress (where you only
wear it once, so if you sit on something or brush against something
which makes the fabric pull it's not a big deal!) - I don't think
it would be good for everyday wear.
