I am making a dress and it is mostly fun! However, I am not 100% sure how to do the lining…

The fashion fabric is very thin (basically see through), and I am doing two layers of it. The dress will be very loose and flowy (which apparently is not a real word; I cannot think of a better alternative so it is the word I am using). I cannot decide if the lining should also be very loose and flowy, or if I should try to sew the lining like a shift dress. I think I could successfully figure out how to make the lining like a shift dress while properly attaching to the fashion fabric without awkwardly pulling anywhere. But do I want the silhouette of the lining to be visible underneath the fashion fabric, or do I want all parts of the dress to share the same silhouette?

“ When you go into the ER, one of the first things they ask you to do is rate your pain on a scale of one to ten, and from there they decide which drugs to use and how quickly to use them. I’d been asked this question hundreds of times over the years, and I remember once early on when I couldn’t get my breath and it felt like my chest was on fire, flames licking the inside of my ribs fighting for a way to burn out of my body, my parents took me to the ER. nurse asked me about the pain, and I couldn’t even speak, so I held up nine fingers.
Later, after they’d given me something, the nurse came in and she was kind of stroking my head while she took my blood pressure and said, ‘You know how I know you’re a fighter? You called a ten a nine.’
But that wasn’t quite right. I called it a nine because I was saving my ten. And here it was, the great and terrible ten, slamming me again and again as I lay still and alone in my bed staring at the ceiling, the waves tossing me against the rocks then pulling me back out to sea so they could launch me again into the jagged face of the cliff, leaving me floating faceup on the water, undrowned. ”

With Doctor Who, Elementary, the art show, & blacking out, I forgot that Teen Vogue Fashion U acceptance emails start going out today. I’m nervous now.
