good question

Sep 27, 2006 2 Replies

I've been helping my jr. high aged neighbor girl with her sewing when she gets stuck. I must say I really enjoy this. Not only the sewing part but we do have some interesting conversations as we are undoing, doing up or redoing parts of her projects. She was quite surprised to find out that boys were the same problem 50 years ago as they are now and delighted to find she was probably even more confusing to them LOL



The one question that stumped me however was about lining. What's the difference between lining a skirt and wearing a nice taffeta, cotton or some woven type fabric slip. Well, I was stumped, what is the difference, pros and cons, so to speak. I couldn't answer that question. Any input ladies? I told her I'd toss this question out and let her take a look at the answers when she got home this afternoon.

The lining helps shape the fabric of the skirt, gives it body and helps it hang correctly.

A slip, as a layer between you and your clothing, gives you modesty, smooths the panty line, and protects your clothing from body oil.
