I've some fabric my Nonna gave me. I discovered a little too late this fabric stretched widthway. However the two remnants I had weren't wide enough to cover me...
The dress has an empire cut, two spaghetti straps and two box pleats at the front. The skirt is french stitched and the top is lined. All the inside stitching are hidden.
The fabric was hard to work with and stitching at less than 1.2 cm from the edge was fraying it quite dramatically. I couldn't use my overlock machine since the fabric was too stretchy (believe it or not). Maybe I need to practice more with the overlocker.
However this fabric NEVER creases, it's wonderful. I wore the nighty before the picture was taken and it looked fresh from the press! With a bit of time on my hand I may do a little jacket to cover my shoulders in the morning.
Thank you Nonna ;-)
