Subject: How many layers Author: Anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:32:34 10/10/01 Wed In reply to: 's message, "Amount in Skirt" on 16:08:46 03/11/01 Sun I'm ready to put a dress together and would like to know how many layers of vilene to use for the front panel, sides, and back. I don't want to have any chance of accidental folding that might be permanent. -I use 1 on the back, 2 on the sides and 3 or 4 in the front, depending on the size (bigger dresses usually get the most) -We use 1 in the back and 2 on the sides and front with the irish threads boning in the front. Very light and flat -We also used 2 in the front and side panels and 1 in the back... as for the boning... we placed it in the front, side panels, pleats (top and bottom) and put a small strip in the back because the panel kept caving in between my daughter's legs.. now its flat in the back, but still easy to dance in...looks great [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
