Also, should I plan to use a cotton or linen for the lining? Or could I
use a silk? Because if silk would be acceptable for teh lining, I have a
nice medium weight silk that I could dye myself, and I have lots of it.
I am using a lightweight cotton for the interlining, the fabric is a
calico cotton that an average weight--what you would use for quilting.
Thanks for all your great feedback on these questions--and I have ordered
the "Who Wore What" book as well, Amazon had it used.

For a cotton dress, it's best to use cotton for the lining. I'd save
the silk for a dress (and silk dresses often have cotton or linen linings).
