YES! @Ekmenally you genius! I knew someone had lined this dress!
@sallycsklarsky if you go through the post in the link Elizabeth just put up, you will see it lined – I was imagining this method so maybe pictures would help? Excellent!

Super Cute! For some reason the dress link routes to the pants….

So here it is again;

@with-love-heidi Yes!
Black coated denim, navy and light blue. Jeans and shirts is a pretty standard uniform for me.

Kwik Sew do a very nice jeans pattern that is easy to adjust due to the pattern layout.

I have had good success adapting the Sketchbook shorts too.
