Thanks, Parisbeans! I actually found the silk chiffon in Colorado at Allyn's after searching in San Francisco! It was a delight to make. I know that the pictures are not good -- I really dislike taking pictures!

Can someone let me know if you would or would not underline a normal-weight wool gabardine for a pair of slacks? I underline most everything with batiste or organza, but I've never underlined a pair of pants and am wondering if it's a useful step? I plan to line them with silk charmeuse. If you would recommend underlining them, would you recommend a light-weight batiste or silk organza?
