Swimsuit fabric as lining?

[dolcevita]

I have found some white lyrcra swimwear type fabric in the depths of my stash.  It's super stretchy and I was pondering over whether to use it to line the giant polka dot ponte for my second iteration of the sleeveless Burda dress as I could probably remove the need for the zip then.

I'm not sure if it's too rubbery, though.  I'm also puzzled as to why on earth I bought it in the first place (I suspect underwear intentions).

Would have thought it might be a bit thick for that.
White Lycra?? .  Guess it wasn't for a swimsuit.

DV, I wouldn't use it.  I used something similar on a dress I made, and I have never worn the dress as it felt too heavy, and far too warm.

I've been using a lovely silky mesh for a lot of projects lately, no idea what it's called but it adds hardly any bulk at all.  I bought three more lots at the weekend - just in case!

Regardless of the thickness, swimsuit fabric will be far too stretchy to use as a lining for ponte.

DVita I agree with the others... not a good combination … too heavy, too warm, too thick .. too perfect for some undies

Thanks, ladies.  My concerns are confirmed and I've found a suitable alternative from the stash that just keeps giving!
