I'll have you all know I am not some loose hussy who can be bought by the offer of shiny pretty things. :angel:  I bought my black scuba and nothing else ( mind you I'm going again on Wednesday)  Still nothing suitable for the bridesmaid dresses - I'm getting worried about this!

I've only found and bought Scuba once and I'm wondering if it comes in different weights like jersey. I bought it to make slip cases for my Kindle and Sat Nav and it does the job really well, non fray, thick and spongy and therefore protective and slippery so items slide in easily. Unless I found it in a much lighter weight I wouldn't dream of making a garment in it. Maybe I just found a heavy duty version?

Yes, I think you're right - there seem to be different weights and different  descriptions of the stuff. I've seen Ponte described as Scuba too. It's one of those you need to get hands-on with before buying. Mine is spongy but not over-heavy.
