(I didn't even notice the white thread on the black cotton/lycra jersey; I was focused on trying to get the blue rayon/lyrca jersey to come out right...) The natural light in the sun porch really washed these out; they're NOT faded in the least. I tried taking a closeup of the blue...that turned out to be a better representation of it.
Anyway, when I read 'It has a sheen to it that looks like silk jersey.', I pictured the silk jerseys ...few and far between they have been,too!...that I've seen, and thought I'd have a matte-type jersey with the barest hint of silky shimmer.
Um, this is a shiney fabric. It's very, very drapey; it behaves very much like slinky, although it isn't.
Now, mind you, the description fits the fabric; I just didn't read it right.
It's still gorgeous, still a marvelous rich fabric, but I don't think it will suit Vogue 1027. Or maybe it's just not matching the picture I had in my head.
In any case, I'm back to the drawing board on this one. I need a dress from it, fairly soon, and I'm not sure what will suit.
Oh, it is just the teensiest bit sheer; I've got some black knit lining that I'll likely line it with, regardless of the pattern.
So...think, think, think....
Whyat does the reverse look like? It may be less shiny and suit your needs better.
ReplyDeleteNah, there's only a slight variation in the texture on the reverse. I have to look very closely to see which side is which.
ReplyDeleteI may try the Vogue dress after all; I've been reading the reviews (there's about a bazillion of 'em) and I think, if I make sure to put the elastic in to support the weight of the skirt, it might work. It's just not what I had originally pictured in my head...
