Quite a perspective, does it also hide the lack of crafpersonship ? Silk skirt from friend made bigger to fit me, and silk top made the simple "fold over" and cut out shape method (selvage edge for the armhole openings...clean w/o sleeve hem.)
I began to realize the silk I was using was different than what I have used before -- I have had much easier sewing with silk charmeuse. Think this was crepe back silk satin. I took the lazy path this time -- grabbed the black bolt, didn't dye it from white myself...and the fabric difference ending up making it more challenging. A fine way to determine what not to do next time. Silk charmuese is easier for me to handle -- hems easier, stays put better while sewing, doesn't thread pull like I found this in sewing (uga), etc. I need to re-work the top on this still ...unless I want to pretend a Neanderthal executed the neckline.
