I saw some blouses and jackets today (at a garage sale) that the fabric is all puckered and stretchy.
I forgot to ask if she made the items or bought them.
The lady said "I just call it bubble fabric".
I kind of stretched the tight crinkles out in a section and it just seems to be stitched in a criss cross pattern with (maybe) elastic thread on slinky silky type fabric.
And a jacket seemed to be stitched in small straight horizontal channels that puckered it vertically. It's definitely not crinkled taffeta.
Maybe it sounds awful but they were very nice looking, especially the jacket.
And my granddaughter would love the blouses.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
If so, do you know what it's called and how it's made?
Thanks
