very interesting. I think you were wise to try a muslin of this first since working with bias can be so tricky. Your link to "bias cut disaster" is not working.

Folkwear has a pattern for a bias cut slip (# 219, Intimacies) if you want to try a pattern designed for bias.

"...the dreaded corkscrew effect." Interesting and I hope this all works out for you. I have been mulling over bias placement while making hats and your review is really helpful. Good luck.

I'd definitely try the Folkwear intimacies if I were you. Something cut on the bias needs to be cut wider than usual since as it'll 'hang out' it'll get longer and thinner. Mind you, I don't think polyester is going to do much in terms of good bias behavior, so this is something that might only become a problem when you try to switch to silk. Although the polyester might get static and the whole thing might creep up, corkscrewing or not :-). Hey, it's worth trying, there isn't enough vintage silk to go around..

"the royal English monobosom" :o !! And this looks like a (finally) lovely plus-sized lingerie pattern, eh...
