That’s exactly how I’d do it. You’re not wanting it to be reversible so a casing applied to the inside of the lining is spot on.
I made a Roller Skate dress with sequins and did just that. Once the casing and elastic were sewn to the lining, I just hand stitched / tacked the sequin fabric to the lining along the stitching line.
It will look fabulous!

Thank you so much @beachmom and @motherof5– it is a great tutorial. I’m dreaming of summer and fun seeing for my girls and these will be perfect!!

So I finished the bear carrier and messenger bag. They were a hit (I think) even though the carrier has been balked at a few times. She was willing to try it for size when I was positioning buttons.

The messenger bag has been well received. All baby doll stuff was dumped on the table and the bag promptly filled with toy trains (anyone want toy…[Read more]

Given that the product to buy is a pattern, can you be more specific about which pattern you’re asking about.
Almost any skirt looks good with stilettos (the spearheaded shoes?).
So, if I’ve understood your question properly, and that’s debatable, then the answer is yes!

How about sizing up and then making a blouse or top to wear under it?

If it helps, I have some photos of the shorts being sewn here.

Hi @florencetaylor “sorry” to have inspired you into this quandary 🙂

Here’s what my approach would be: start with the building block dress: do princess seams and dropped waist adjustments. At the dropped waist you can add the ruffles and pockets using the Seashore pattern as a guide.
