I should have known when I couldn't get a "true" cut that this was not going to work out. Fabric jumped out of my scissors (I tried several pair) as well as slid no matter what surface it was on. Still, I tried. Spent a day but in the end I just trashed the project. Too bad. I so wanted this to work out.
It took me a minute to figure out the best way to use this fabric, but I was inspired by another reviewer...thank you for the idea for a little girl's dress. Had fun laying out and putting it together. Loved the result....
The fabric color was great, but the stripe wasn't vertical to the grain which changed my pattern and amount needed (I needed less fabric than I ordered).
Beautiful colour for a beautiful fabric. This silk is easy to work with. I recommend finishing the edges once fabric is cut especially if seam allowances are less than 5/8". Best to have 1" to allow for minor fitting adjustments. Presses well. Be extra careful ripping seams. That said it is a beautiful summer colour and weight.

This fabric is perfect for summer. I made a pair of wide leg pants that looks like a maxi skirt when standing still.

I matched this fabric colour to a cotton ottoman print. This fabric produces crisp edges when pressed.
