Hi all, I've a 1940's housecoat that's in a delicate state. I believe it's made from Marspun (fabric 1005). It's not really wearable but I aim to repair it, seams and collar, but the piece at the back under the collar has slightly shredded. I've used some hemming tape to hold it together, but was wondering if there's anything like it, that is broader to cover the back panel inside? Something of a sheer nature as opposed to stiffening?
It's an M&S wrap around and has a utility mark. The colour is (it's kind of floral) has faded and run.
My aim is to eventually take a pattern off it.
