Lining vogue 1250 I need help with adding a lining!
Sconnell1 Member since 6/17/12 Posts: 1	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/5/12 11:08 AM I am dying to make up the ubiquitous vogue 1250 and have the perfect jersey for it, but its slightly sheer. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to line a dress with a cowl. I've lined a few skirts, but never a dress. Help!

My only concern would be the extra volume a lining would add at the cowl. Maybe someone else has a suggestion that would eliminate that problem. ------ Olivia, my Pfurple Pfaff Creative Performance Bernina Aurora 430 BabyLock Enlighten

You will have to use a knit lining and it could be attached at the side seams only...just thinking out loud here...more like an underlining.

The drape on this dress hangs pretty low if it's not altered. You could add a lining that lays flat across the bust and raises above the lining by however much you want it to. If you chose to do that, you could just wear it sort of as a slip, and wouldn't necessarily even need to attach it. To do this, you could try tracing the pattern front piece up until about the waist (where it begins to get wider to accomodate the drapey neck), then drafting the top so that it is more close fitting. You might be able to use the back piece as a guide to do this. ------ http://reddthreads.wordpress.com/ Singer 15-86 Bernina Artista 200E Brother 1034D
