I haven't logged in such a long time, do you still want the close-ups?

I can appreciate the time and absolute perfection you put into the dress. I have a question about the way you lined the skirt. I am sewing my daughter's wedding dress and she wants the same look , not as full as yours. I am using dupioni silk, and the inside lining is batiste. I have been considering adding a layer of cotton flannel (light drapery interlining)to the silk, treating the 2 as one fabric. What did you do to get that beautiful silk, if you don't mind sharing? Thanks
