Not sure exactly what it is, or if it is suitable, but i figure it's worth a go. I am toying with the idea of making it a slip rather than lining initially, as i think Tasia is going to cover both, so i can see how it goes and avoid committing!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332668769206406249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-52294759690380923642011-04-30T03:20:46.813-07:002011-04-30T03:20:46.813-07:00Kat, if you are planning on using this as a winter...Kat, if you are planning on using this as a winter skirt too, then I think you'll want to use a slippery fabric to line it with as Tasia suggests. If you go to Stuart or our favourite market man and as to see their lining fabrics, I'm sure they'll have a range of polyester type ones. That's what I plan on doing. Also, Fenwick have loads of lining fabric (in all sorts of colours) and it's only £2.50ish a metre I think! Hope this helps!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632906323410997355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-52295089831445797192011-04-29T15:34:26.065-07:002011-04-29T15:34:26.065-07:00I usually line my cotton skirts and dresses (inclu...I usually line my cotton skirts and dresses (including the Crescent I made!) with cotton batiste or lawn, and have never had the riding up issue ... but then I never wear tights! For a breezy summer skirt, it shouldn't be a problem, I would think!<br /><br />On lowering the waist ... that is what I wanted too, but I didn't think about where the gathering would hit, and on my first version I think just making the yoke larger made the gathers start in a slightly weird place. So for the next one, I'm going to go back to the size the envelope says I should be, but lop off the top inch or so of the yoke and see how I like that.<br /><br />As for the Royal Wedding ... what I am jealous of is that holiday!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674930108735903116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-20625166979436132502011-04-29T13:38:25.718-07:002011-04-29T13:38:25.718-07:00Nice progress Kat - the muslin looks great, you sh...Nice progress Kat - the muslin looks great, you should be feeling very smug right now ;o) I've pinned my waistband to the skirt, but still need to sew it and insert the zip...still not convinced the style will 'suit' my muffin tops, but I'll soon find out I guess!<br /><br />I wasn't bothered about the Royal Wedding either today, but I had to tune in to see the dress and I certainly wasn't disappointed! After that, I got sucked into watching the rest...hehe!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632906323410997355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760979403532525064.post-46186154842115398902011-04-29T10:39:35.296-07:002011-04-29T10:39:35.296-07:00Oh wow! you really are getting into this!

When I wear it with woollen tights it rides up like nobodies business! lol not a good look. But now that its warmer I've tried wearing it without tights and it's fine. So I think if you don't plan on wearing tights with it, you should be ok :)<br />Ashley xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818220432918190586noreply@blogger.com
