For a Spanish style dress with multiple flounce layers, what is a good fabric to use for the base skirt? Is there a fine line between having enough weight so the fabric doesn't just float everywhere or tangle up on itself and being too heavy? I was thinking about stretch mesh for the underskirt and embroidered tulle for the flounces? Would this work? I think I read about someone using stretch mesh in an online article about making a Kitri dress, but I could be wrong.
Secondly, is there a good pattern available for a Kitri dress? I've gotten some good advice on how to adapt a stretch leo-based pattern, but I'm an auditor by day and not really comfortable with "winging it."
Thanks!
