@Kenora , that was my problem, I couldn't get any locally, so had to buy online. Never used Bengaline before, so not sure if what I bought was typical, but it was awful.
Very easy to sew, but the cutting out was wasteful. I hated the 'rustling', and 'swishing' when I moved as well, so they have never been worn.
I don't know if all Bengaline is like this, but this was my experience, and for me, an expensive waste.
