I will be needing to buy underpinnings materials very soon for a mid-1600's corset and farthingale. Should I use linen as the lining for the corset? Would this linen be heavy enough to use? What should I use on the outer side? I think I heard someone mention duck cloth before, but that seems awfully heavy. What should I use for the farthingale? I don't feel the need to go 100% authentic on this, especially since it won't be visable, but I do want it to breath well. Michigan summers are HOT!

What I saw at my local stores was heavier than that, good for a shirt perhaps, or a summer dress. I've been eyeing it too, and if I buy any I will probably use it as lining.
