I've made 2 rollerskate dresses and absolutely love them. I'm considering a third for my 8yo but would like to make it a little lighter and more casual by only lining the top of the dress. I recently made a Geranium dress by Rae Hoekstra and that pattern lines the top and then stitches the bottom edge of the lining down by stitching in the ditch at the bodice/skirt seam line. Rollerskate doesn't have that but I thought I might be able to do something similar at the stitching for the elastic. Or could I just hem the lining and leave it unattached? Any other ideas? Or is this just a terrible idea in the first place? :)
Thanks in advance!
