I’m looking to make https://itch-to-stitch.com/product/fisterra-top-dress-digital-sewing-pattern-pdf/ in a nice drapey viscose and can’t decide what to use for the lining.

I usually use a soft cotton lawn as lining for tops etc but when I made a lined top earlier this year I wasn’t happy with the way the viscose and the lawn felt together, so I’m a bit stumped.  I suppose another viscose is the way to go.

If you can find a fine cotton and silk mix that’s lovely and I think it would work. Alternatively a viscose lawn is nice.

Pongee is what is often used in RTW.
