Do you mean where you cut the fabric it's fraying? Dupioni does that.
In actual period gowns, the bodice (at least) is usually flat lined in glazed
cotton. The seams are bound in seam binding. Often in a contrasting color.
Curved seams are not just clipped to lay flat, they are scalloped (the clipped
sections are rounded off) which makes it easier to bind.
