Oi vey...I'm tearing my hair out over here over the fabric. I've been to a few fabric stores around town trying to find the right materials, but coming up empty handed.
Pants - Ordered the raw silk from Dharma Trading, but now hearing from multiple sources that it's too nubby, not the right fabric. So...what fabric is it? I know it's a silk, but...where are you guys getting yours from?
For the pants this is by far the best that I can find. Since it is silkessence it is much cheap. If you have a Jo-Ann's near you stop in the store and check out the grey. It is nearly perfect

You could also try sanding it with like a palm or belt sander!
On another note, the raw silk from Dharma is nubby and not very smooth at all. (For my pants, I just used some off-white muslin, then dyed it a bit).
And just throwing this out there, but I think I have maybe 1/2 yd of the knit shirt fabric from Dharma leftover. I'd have to check when I get home, but if anyone would like to take it off my hands, pm me. You really don't need that much fabric for the shirt anyhow.
a 1/2 yard isn't going to be enough to make the henley, though... that's like a 5 'x 1-1/2' strip. maybe if you're more slender even than daisey ridley is....
I bet my 6 year old might be able to fit it. I could use it.
