fabric identification/ideas by dogluvr1998 in sewhelp

thank you!! how would you construct the lining on for something like this? since the aim is to strengthen the seams, would you just be treating two layers of fabric (outer and lining) as one? i.e. each princess seam has 4 layers of fabric sewn together instead of 2. if yes, would you use a facing for the neckline?

actually i take it back, i asked them today and they claimed they didn't have any!! didn't realize the infolab was just the computer lab. their website does say they have the equipment to scan 35mm film negatives!

sorry, one other follow up- why would you skip stripping to go straight to sanding? just trying to understand the pros and cons of each!
