I want to make a dress using raw dupion silk. The fabric is naturally thin and 'clingy' and I am wondering if I should back it first with very fine 100% cotton lawn before cutting the pattern and sewing the dress. This would give it a little more body but I am not an expert dress maker and would value advice. Is this an approved method of working with silk?
