Mbarkle said... Margaret, I have this pattern and a piece of ivory silk charmeuse I was thinking of using. I will definitely refer to your review when I get around to making it up. Thanks for all the detail! 4/4/03 11:09 AM

Margaret said... Thanks so much, everyone! Mary, if you decide to stretch out the
straps, I've heard it's a good idea to
get the whole pieces of silk fabric damp
at once so they don't waterspot, but I
don't know if that applies to prewashed
silk or just silk that is intended to be
drycleaned... but it probably doesn't
hurt regardless... 4/5/03 2:12 AM
