Who else is binge watching The Daily Connoisseur? Silk underwear

I needed to unplug, and popped on The Daily Connoisseur, on YouTube.  Really I was searching for capsule wardrobe ideas and she did a video on the importance of wearing presentable underwear, as well as sleepwear and all wear....   I had noticed that there were visible panty lines while wearing my heavy weight denim skirt.  What?  Aren't heavy weight fabrics impervious to these kinds of dangers?  Apparently not.  So what's a girl to do?  Perhaps slips are in order, but most definitely underwear.  I've made these more than once, my tried and true woven underwear pattern.

Remember these?

They had to be retired, they've lasted almost 3 years in rotation, not bad for a scrap of silk. 

I've gained weight since the pattern was drafted for these, but in the stash, there were some pieces that had been precut but never made, except for the back piece.  Fold over elastic was used instead of the traditional plush back elastic, which requires a deeper seam allowance.  The fold over elastic gave me just a little more ease.

Now don't laugh, I'm bound and determined to use the fabric in my scrap bin.

Yes, it's true, they look like the Gianni Versace logo.  These won't be worn under white pants. These were "harvested" from a 1980's thrift store track suit. If it's all I ever make from them, they were $5, but there's still plenty left, so the cost will come down lol

The Toile.

The nice thing about the silk panty, is that if  the elastic is not tight, they are almost invisible, breathable, and they feel nice against the skin.

The downside... they have to be made with a bit of ease so they don't shred (especially if the silk has no lycra in it) , and they won't wear like the polyester knit versions, but this is a scrap project.

The original pattern was Kwik Sew 2325, which was part of a chemise and robe set.

All sizes are included in the pattern which is nice.  Hmm going to have to see if the chemise pattern will fit on some scraps....
