Here's another great fabric from emmaonesock.com. It's a silk/cotton/lycra mix and behaved beautifully on my 2015 trip to Italy. You can read about it by putting the fabric number (47292) in the search box on the fabric web-site.
I used Vogue 8636 again, adding black jet beads to hold the tucks down. When it came time to finish the edges with the twin-needle hem, I made certain to get a new very fine point needle. This fabric is surprisingly warm for being so lightweight.
I wash it by hand, because of the fiber content and the beading. "Washability" is another factor I consider when choosing what goes into the suitcase, as everything gets worn three or four times. This top is another that goes with the jacket in my original Capsule Wardrobe.
