Clothes Design - 2 More Slips (Chemises)

 Wednesday, July 30, 2014

(Moved from Dochas Books Film)

Having made the Bahama Voile slip,
which is,
    - light-weight
    - stiff,

I found that it stuck to the Indonesian 100% rayon evening dresses, that I had made, a little
so I wanted to see if smoother fabrics slide underneath this rayon better.

So, I have now made 2 more slips (chemises).

These were both,
- light-weight fabric

This one is 100%
Indonesian rayon.
- a little smooth
   in texture
- high stretch
   along the
   bias,
   which leads to
   exaggerated
   lengthening
   along the
   sides.

And this one is
Bemsilk Lining.
- high smooth
   texture
- high shine
- a little stretch
   on the bias,
   which leads to
   some draping
   quality








When the 100% Indonesian rayon slip
is placed under the evening dress
it creates another layer,
which adds another design element
that I think is interesting.




It may be a while
before I wear these
slips when going out,
but when I do
I'll give an up-date on how they went  :)
