It was sounding like underlining would be a good choice for you, until I read this:<br /><br />"One fabric that's always tricky to underline is rayon, since even the most well-behaved rayon sags when "hung" on the body. Because this sagging is more obvious over time when the garment is underlined, I don't underline rayon."<br /><br />Hm. Since the houndstooth is heavy on the rayon, maybe something to consider.<br /><br />Love your blog by the way! And while I may look like an unschooled fool in the lining/underlining department, I do sew!A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18224379664165606841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-2049462934279247952009-11-15T17:40:52.156-05:002009-11-15T17:40:52.156-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18224379664165606841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-16868108153988974452009-11-14T17:51:09.480-05:002009-11-14T17:51:09.480-05:00Thanks for the warning about "Coco".

I made a jacket dress for my daughter out of a Rayon/linen blend that was surprisingly unstable. Interfacing the entire dress and jacket did the trick. Just make sure to use a very soft light interfacing.<br />Becky@mckeent.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-13666061189326783762009-11-13T20:44:01.099-05:002009-11-13T20:44:01.099-05:00I agree with underlining, the Chanel movie and you...I agree with underlining, the Chanel movie and your gorgeous fabric choices!

I think I like it as well or better than some 100% silk fabrics.

Is there enough fabric to make the dress since it shrank so much?Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.com
