Using white silk dupioni and need to line it – suggestions?

I'm planning to make the music box dress out of white silk dupioni (for a flower girl), and need to line the skirt so you can't see through it. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to line the skirt for this pattern? Should I sew "2 as 1," and if so, how should I finish the hem? Or is there a way to sew two separate skirts, but connect them somehow at the back? The buttons make this tricky. Also,what material would you suggest for the lining? I don't want to use polyester with silk. Would a really lightweight cotton or muslin work, or should I use a silk lining of some kind? The other alternative is just to make a separate petticoat/slip. As you can see, I'm not sure what would work best, and would love some suggestions! Thanks!
