I am going to embark on my first heirloom sewing project, a first communion dress for my 8 year old. I have ordered taffeta fabric for the bodice and skirt and would really like something soft and silky for the lining. I saw some lovely silk at my local store but am wondering if that would work with the (polyester) taffeta. If not, what would be a luxurious, soft fabric for the lining?
And a more general question is how do you manage different laundering requirements for one garment composed of multiple fabrics?
TIA,
Jennifer
