Inter-lining advice needed

I am making a lightweight gabardine jacket to wear over a fancy dress for a wedding. I need more warmth than the gabardine and a silky lining will provide. I was thinking that either a layer of quilt batting quilted to the lining or a layer of cotton flannel as a inter lining would work but I have no idea how to secure the interlining into the jacket. I am going to have to invent a little already because the pattern I am turning into a jacket was originally the top of an unlined 2 piece dress..See Vogue 7822 with long sleeves and the high round neck and no topstitching. I am planning on wearing it over Butterick 4596 view B . Also do you think cutting the jacket one size larger will allow enough ease for it to fit easily over the dress. Thanks for your advice, Ruth

That might work if you use a very thin batting such as Thinsulate?, although even Thinsulate? might be bulky in the sleeves.

Cut the underlining exactly as you do the fashion fabric, and join the flannel and fashion fabric at all edges, then treat as a single piece as you seam the garment pieces together.

Dear Ruth,

The interlining doesn't have to attach to anything, and if you use Thinsulate, you can remove all the seam allowances, butt the edges together and zigzag the seams to eliminate bulk. Then just simply hang it on the inside of the jacket, and sew the lining as usual--the lining and the armholes will hold the interlining in place. I do this on all my winter coats and jackets.
