]]>I love muslin, it’s very versatile, different weight, easy to dye, soft and light and very affordable. With so many pros how can one go wrong!!
]]>On a side note I’ll purposely select the most obnoxious cotton print I can find. Then friends get together after hours and have an ugly undies contest. You wouldn’t believe some of the ugly fabric out there.

I’ve always assumed that the buckets I sweat when I wear kimono and other Japanese historical clothing had more to do with the number of layers of heavy, heavy silk that proper wear requires. A heavy triple layered obi wrapped at least twice around the ribcage can indeed get warm!
Though, now I’m considering the fact that I live in Toronto, it is currently -27 C, and warmer underthings might be a decent idea for nights like this… Oh, the rationalisation that can go on over a fabric that I’m in love with…
I have a China silk (habotai) slip for 1920s dresses and it’s lovely. I wouldn’t, however, wear it (or any silk) under my corset as a chemise as silk can be hot. Makes nice petticoats though!
