I could see how really snug pants would work well because this stuff doesn't look stretch, but it stretches all to hell. <br /><br />Seriously, I can pull off the Claudias (made with bengaline) without opening the zip - with no problem. When it's not very snug, it's really ugly.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-31605738263451354362014-03-10T11:08:16.229-04:002014-03-10T11:08:16.229-04:00Well, not a wasted weekend because of all you lear...Well, not a wasted weekend because of all you learned. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished sweater, mostly because I want to try it on and see if I can bring myself to knit it if it looks good (like you, I favour a more fitted look). As for bengaline, I’m not going to like to you: when I touched the swatch, it felt a bit… cheap. Let’s just say I’m not rushing out to purchase this fabric from Style Arc.

You seemed so happy with them. Mind you, I have no idea what it actually is :-) I like stretch cotton twill for pants, and it comes in a gazillion colors, and seemingly weights as well. The ones I've used or seen though tend to have more body than drape.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-86214068914616375632014-03-09T20:52:24.571-04:002014-03-09T20:52:24.571-04:00I LOVE stretch bengaline, but so far I have only u...I LOVE stretch bengaline, but so far I have only used it with the pull-on pants and the closely fitted Darla dress.
