random thoughts on a silk skirt....


This is a A line skirt I made a few months back with 2 different fabrics....I used dupioni silk for the front & charmeuse for the back.....I also made a hand sewn zipper.  I went to wear it yesterday & notice a few things......the box pleat I made in the front had come un done so this time I sewed it by hand with a few stitches at the top.  I also hand wash this skirt but notice the silk loosing its shape in the front while hang drying so now this skirt lays flat to dry.


I am thinking to line the front silk part or maybe add interface to the box pleat to keep the shape. Any thoughts for next time I sew a similar skirt with two types of fabric?
