Silk linings

[theladyrebecca]

I think I want to line the habit. And possibly the waistcoat, too. (The waistcoat is ivory worsted wool on the outside, and will be flatlined with cotton twill, like the habit bodice.) I will also be using the same fabrics as the riding habit to make an 18th c-infused modern winter jacket.


The question is, do I use habotai, crepe de chine, charmeuse, or something entirely different?

I wouldn't use charmeuse if you value your sanity. Personally I would probally go for habotai, taffeta or maybe sill twill.

I second Jenny-Rose's comment!
