Fabric is a totally sensuous chocolate brown silk with a scattered-squares jacquard weave. It *crinkles* when you scrunch it. It's neither as slippery or 'watery draping' as charmeuse.
Pattern is Vogue 9771, bias-cut top with a drapey thing in front.
There is a back-neck facing, cut on-grain. The instructions call for fusible interfacing. I've got various flavors of fusible on hand, but the notion of fusing to this silk gives me hives.
I've got silk organza, would that be too crisp? Any other suggestions?
