My fabric choice is a ponte de roma from Joanne Fabrics. It was much more stable to sew up, and is warmer & has less stretch than my rayon version. This is my first garment with ponte, except some leggings. I now know to use a press cloth with it, because so much shine & seam show-through happens when you press this stuff. Seam roll & ham make no difference - this stuff is not iron-friendly.
In the ponte, the rear photo shows some pooling this time. The rayon just slinks down so this didn't happen last time. I think part of it is because the skirt is caught on my butt due to cotton leggings underneath, but I could get a nicer fit if I take about 1/2" out for swayback I think.
