I have a beautiful piece of red taffeta. Is it possible to make a sheath dress from it? All my patterns call for something softer and less crisp. If so what changes do I need to make.
Thanks

I don't see why a sheath dress couldn't be done in taffeta. You could underline it with a softer fabric for a different feel.

Thanks, I know I have seen straight dresses made with taffeta. But the lining might make it better.
