This is definitely Melanie’s field, @Willanna. I have a blog post here https://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143875948321/ in which I underlined velvet spotted tulle.
However, I would use this method http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/added-a-skirt-lining-how-do-i-sew-the-zipper for the lining.
Good luck!

I’d call it more of a blazer than a jacket, per se. You probably wouldn’t be able to layer a sweater under it, but you could wear it over a light blouse or T-shirt.

My least worn, but personal favorite, was Abby’s Ice Cream top: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/8068829007/in/album-72157631200589734/
She wore it less than 5 times.
She had two hopscotch tops she wore holes in to, one that she would wear multiple times a week.Jack wears his sandbox pant/shorts multiple times a week. I told him…[Read more]

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins. -

*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.
I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]

Nicole replied to the topic Fit on Sunday Brunch in the forum oliver + s: sunday brunch 10 years ago
I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.
The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

(this is the 6-12 months on my 18…[Read more] -

This is a fun thread! Thanks for starting it, Nicole.:)
Hands down, the most worn O+S item in our house:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/27858004@N05/7557176858/in/set-72157624957087533/player/Patrick wore the shorts constantly the last 2 years. If they were clean (and sometimes when they weren’t!) he wore them.;)

I think my most worn garments are the two matching floral Jump Rope dresses I made when Sofia was 3. They both wore them a lot and now Sofia has started wearing the pink one I made Isabel.
Least worn was also an After School set, and the Class Picnic shorts I made Isabel. But Sofia found those and started using them for gym so all hope isn’t lost.

My sweet Liddy turned 11 today and I made her a red sunhat, at her request.
It was the Sunkissed sunhat but I did go all LTTS bucket hat on the construction. -

Great topic Nicole! I think my most worn items would be all the Class Picnic blouses I’ve made. Not only does my little fusspot love the style, they seem to fit for years and then get passed on to my niece who wears them for years. Great for summer but equally good layered for cooler months. My least worn item would have been the Pinwheel dress…[Read more]

I thought hard about this one, cause it’s a great question – then, I realized that the answer was right in front of me – 100% definitely, the most worn and least worn are from the same pattern – my daughter has worn these pajama bottoms probably about 5 days out of 7 – they are now half-way up her shins, yet she still wears them. The flannel is…[Read more]

Oh, good question!
Hmmm, let’s see – most worn would have to be Harry’s red Sandbox shorts (4 years – literally worn to death):

Welcome back Becky, I hope the unpacking goes well.
I finished Tildy’s Field Trip outfit. Huge success, my girly girl loves her velvet farm trousers.
Next up a knit Music Class blouse and knit Lunch Box culottes for a sneaky school uniform for Liddy.
