Perfect!

I made a True Bias Rory jumpsuit using around 2 metres of this fabric. It washed and ironed beautifully and has a silky-smooth feel. Although the fabric is quite lightweight, it was perfect for this pattern and was also quite resistant to creasing.

Quality of the fabric for the price is unbelievable. Only decision is do I go for a 50s dress or a shirt dress? Decisions, decisions...
