Sewing Fabric Details
The pattern envelope calls for fabric for lining/underlining. What does that mean, you may ask? Great question. The
bodice is lined traditionally. However, the skirt is underlined with
lining fabric, meaning the fashion fabric and the lining fabric are hand
basted together and treated as one. The underlining helps give body
to the skirt pleats (underneath the drape), and also hides the hemming
stitches. The fabric I used in the sample is a hot pink silk crepe-back
satin, and it's almost impossible to hide hemming stitches without an
underlining.
