Man, do I love this little honey. It's a stretch silk charmeuse, teal green, made from Vogue V9771, cut on the bias (including the sleeves--the pattern didn't call for it, but I felt twisty) and with the really smooth silky side on the inside. That makes it both less shiny on the outside and more luxuious-feeling.
Next up I have embarked on a purple sweater-knit mock wrap dress (McCall's 6163, view A, the one without the doofy sleeves--man, I hate those doofy sleeves--here's the link: http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m6163-products-11278.php?page_id=101&search_control=display&list=search).
This shirt does not hang well, obviously, but thanks to the bias cut, it clings where it ought and is, I think anyway, quite a sexy little number. I'd like to make it up in a blank angora sweater knit, but am not sure what to do about the bias in that case. Would I cut it on the straight of grain and then let the knit do its stretchy thing?
