Ah, the joys of acquiring (by buying or constructing) the things YOU want to wear instead of what the fashion police insist on. ***GRIN*** Did you get the recent email from Pattern Review about the slippery fabric online video class? Silk charmeuse is specifically mentioned in the description ... I can forward it to you if you didn't receive it (just looked at the email ... the class is actually on sale for $29.00 until midnight tonight and you're supposed to have permanent access to the video)
