You have made a decision so this is just an fyi for folks. I recently used a very vintage piece of cotton that was thin and virtually see through. Since I was using stash from my long gone gramma I wanted to use it. I ironed fusible shape flex think 101? To the piece I was using. It looked wonderful and the body was perfect....still soft and flexible (hence the name, lol) and approximated the weight of quality goods of today. I will be doing this again!
