Brewster's Millions, or a bolt of silk twill

In Don's bra-design group

,I wanted to respond to a remark about matching panties and bras, andbegan "If I were given Brewster's Millions and told that I had to havean entire new wardrobe . . . " And my mind wandered off into the fabric-buying spree such a situation would require and I never did write the post.

The first thing I'd do would be to order an entire bolt of Dharma's silk twill . . .

Well, the *first* thing I'd do is buy the house across the street so I'd have a bedroom and a work room for my live-in seamstress, not to mention space to store all my new stuff, but I've wanted to buy silk twill ever since I learned that it exists, but I haven't thought of a use for it.

Postulating a live-in wardrobe mistress and a need for a complete wardrobe, I can think up uses. First a couple of bras. I'd want at least a dozen linen bras, but I think two white-silk bras would be plenty. Assorted silk slips; I can design dresses to wear over them later. Silk drawers for winter and for under wool slacks. Maybe add silk lace and call them pettipants.

Everybody needs a white blouse, but the twill is too sheer. I've never seen a sample of 30mm Crepe de Chine, but I suspect that I would like it very much. And they've got a semi-sheer wool blend now . . .
