Organza is pretty sheer but it would make a nice overlay or an apron type overlay. You could also use it alone for sheer type sleeves and a collar. They also have check silk dupioni for next to nothing and that would work for the dress, just make sure to outline each piece with stitching (zig zag) to prevent the fabric from unraveling. Remember that it is recommended that silk be dry cleaned but it doesn’t have to. If you chose to wash it by hand or gentle machine it will change the texture, so you may want to pre-wash a piece to see if you like that. The firefly jacket would be sweet in silk dupioni for a formal look, maybe to go over a sleeveless dress. For silk sewing I prefer to line in a polyester that does not unravel as much as the silk. For sure the prices at this sale lend themselves to trying some fabrics that are usually outside our frugal budgets! Also, if the fabric appears to out of stock, try calling. Their sales people are the friendliest ever.
