I might not need a serger after all.
I found some mat 2-way stretch bathing suit fabric for The Infinite Dress and after washing it, I realized it is never ever going to fray and I might be able to sew it with a regular machine, I think a small zigzag might do the trick. I'll research this a little today and run some tests. I also will be glad if you have any tip other than getting a special sewing needle, which I have.
It is such an extraordinary pattern piece, isn't it? (Yes, it's my tape measure!)
I'll have plenty of remnants, I might get into making some matching underwear, a bathing suit maybe? It'll depend on how the sewing goes and how ambitious I get.
As the fabric matches my couch on the upper left corner, I'll be setting a new elegance standard, matching underwear, dress and decor, I hope someone, somewhere notices the effort.

An while I am at it, on the plane, I'll be asking for the matching seat as well.
