I have used rayon on a christening dress because the satin was such a bright white and the cotton looked dull against it. I cannot see why you cannot use it for wearables.
A lot of clothes are made in synthetics are`nt they?? Brenda once said to me "If you like it and the size is right use it". So I use that as my golden rule. I hope this will put your mind at rest Bev.
