One of the aspects of Dressmaking that is important to consider in your projects, is ensuring that your Dressmaking Fabrics are lined appropriately. There are many reasons why we can consider it important to line Dressmaking Fabrics... Dressmaking Fabrics are often lined for comfort - Sometimes the other side of Dressmaking Fabrics such as Duchess Satin are more comfortable with a softer lining when being worn against the skin, especially on larger garments where the weight of the Dressmaking Fabrics becomes a factor itself. Another reason that we often choose to line our Dressmaking Fabrics is for warmth. An extra layer in the cooler weather always makes a difference! From a fashion perpective, one reason why it is often the case to line Dressmaking Fabrics is to provide colour and texture to add to the style of the garment.
