It's just that weird poly/nylon/manmade fabric that undergarments, particularly inexpensive slips, are made out of.
You should probably be able to cut that stuff all the hell up. It may even form its own spontaneous little roll-hem.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Summerr is over. math department drinking ohas started. And i'm very pround of myself, because I wasn't actually invited, but it was a scacsual 'hey, wanna come along?" thing that they werer discussing in front of mye, so clearly no actual objections to my being ther, so i wnet along. usually not so good at figureing things out like that and going somewhere withotn someone, unprompted, saying, "hillary, want to come along?"

Steph, I have cut that material and it has lasted with little raveling for a couple of shows, at least, if that helps. Otherwise I would just buy another slip, because they are actually kind of a pain to hem nicely by hand, and I don't know if you have a machine. If you do, you could cut and zigzag lace over top of it.
Also, Happy Birthday Meara!
And ~ma to Sean, Kristin and other people who need it.

I figured he was prepared for all clothing related emergencies. I don't own any nail polish except for use on the occasional stocking.
JZ's right, that stuff will curl up like a pillworm.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep. At the very least, you can cut it and leave it for now with no worries. If you want to go back and add trim later, it can survive until then.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I barely know how to sew on a button.
this is me. One time I had to hem a pair of pants and my Mom (who is a master with a needle) did one leg for me and then pinned the other leg so I could (allegedly) very easily do it myself. It came out looking so bad I ended up taking it to a tailor to fix. I think it's better to cut and risk the unravel than to try to hem it and end up being all mad at yourself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am really enjoying Hil's alcohol-affected spelling. Kinda adorable!

Hiking is fun! If I was only halfway invited I would go.

I've always just turned the slip down at the top.
