Bias cut fabric

[annieeg]

Hi,
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this but I have a question .....
In my treasure hunt over this past weekend, I discovered a very long (maxi), RTW white linen sleeveless dress
My plan is to take the dress apart and reuse the fabric to make a top with sleeves, BUT its been cut on the bias.
I would dearly love to make something on the straight grain (don't like bias cut garments) but don't know if it would be possible.   :thinking:

Anyone got any knowledge on this point?

can you mark the grain line with thread or raker somehow.  Turn the fabric and have a look and see what you’ve got.   No reason why it can’t be done, depends how much fabric you have.  You may need to be creative.
