interfacing silk fabric
Your ideas please: I am constructing a dress of a fine 100% silk fabric and am considering using fusible tricot interfacing in the bodice area as it would help maintain the hand of the fabric while adding some support (at least that's the plan). Seems to me woven fusible would be too stiff????? Your thoughts? Currently doing samples of each to test.......

I've used fusible tricot (post #35396, reply #1 of 2)
I've used fusible tricot sucessfully on wool and linen and good quality polyester bridal satin and interlining. I think it would think work well on the silk.

Although I have used fusible tricot on sik fabric for a couple of upholstery projects, I strongly recommend using silk organza for the bodicw of your dress. It will not change the hand of the fabric and it will add the support you need. Amazing fabric! Also, it cuts down on wrinkles and you do not run the risk of "bubbking" when applying tricot. Happy sweing!
