The good news is, the silk came out of the dryer perfectly
smooth! I doubt I'll have to press it all after it's made
up.

I occasionally press the collar and/or front bands of
shirts, but most of my "ironing" is pressing as I sew. All
fabrics get machine washed and dried before I sew them, if
they don't come out of the dryer pretty presentable, they
get donated. Life's too short... and dry cleaners too
expensive.

I have that silver & black burn-out silk velvet top I wore
for my 50th HS reunion. Or a sparkly red layered top I
bought for another occasion. (I do seem to have a lot of
black in my closet). I could probably wear either with the
black 'Slinky' pants and sliver flat shoes I already own.

Yup! I gave up heels years ago, and comfort is the first
criteria when I buy shoes.

Oh, the red sparkly top sound beautiful with the silver sandals; no need to
purchase anything, you seem to have it all on hand.

I hesitate because it was bought for a winter occasion, I'll
have to get it out and see if it's cool enough for Nashville
in July. I really would prefer something with color.

I really like the way "Slinky" packs. Maybe something like:
http://www.denverfabrics.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=WW920
or
http://www.denverfabrics.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=XX212
or
http://www.denverfabrics.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=WW908
or
http://www.denverfabrics.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=WW913

;-) Can't have enough party outfits....

I rather like
http://www.denverfabrics.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=WW920 the
best of those. Not a lot of color, but cool elegance.

I really like it, too, but with that one, I'll have to find
new shoes (or wear balck ones.) With
http://www.denverfabrics.com/catalog_itemdetail.aspx?ItmID=WW913 I
can get by with my silver shoes and bag.

I really like the metallic purple one, too. Gosh, I may
just have to order a couple of yards of each, they are cheap
enough... ;->
