That linen canvas? Has a bit of stretch in the weft. The thinnest strand of elastic in the core of the thread. Part of me wants to use it doubled, with one layer cut on the grain and one on the cross, which would deal with it and keep the finished garment from stretching, but, you know, this is my thesis project so I'll save that idea for some other time.

Tomorrow I'll head to Mood and see if I can find anything. It's too bad that I couldn't start on the stays right away, because this evening I scaled up and fitted a muslin that seems to be working. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't screw this up.
