Tried making a dress from old curtains and it was a disaster

Used some heavy floral fabric from my grandma's house. Thought it would be vintage chic. The whole thing was so stiff, I couldn't even sit down in it. Felt like wearing a lampshade. Anyone have tips for working with thick, old fabrics?

Heads up on those new ceramic fiber blankets from the supply catalog

Yeah, I saw a thread on another forum last month where a bunch of people were having the exact same problem with that brand. They said it was like the binder just vaporized. I ended up going with a local industrial supplier for my last project, the stuff they had felt way more dense right out of the box. Lasted through a whole season of firings without any issues.
