Annie, do you wash your noil? I haven't sewn with it in years, but I used to toss it in the machine (cold water, delicate) before sewing with it, and that worked out very well. Silk is weak when wet, so you have to be careful at that point, but this made my garments practical for every day. (No detergent, of course, just something very gentle for cleansing.)

These are fantastic pants, but that sizing is soooo far off. I'm about to make my second pair now that I've got the size right. They won't be my last; these pants are incredibly comfortable to wear.
