For the lining, use the same fabric as for the main garment. This is of crucial importance when it comes to cutting on the bias. Even a slight difference in the properties of the fabrics used for the main garment and the lining may result in the garment losing its shape.
The dress in the cover photo is made of dress-weight faux silk. This fabric is medium weight, malleable, soft and with very little stretch. The fibre content is 100% polyester.
