Nap Mat
What kind of fabric should I get to make a lining for a dress?
I bought a dress pattern. It’s very simple, only four pattern pieces, but it has a lining for the yoke. It says that the dress should be “with nap” in a fabric like satin, crepe, or matte jersey. It doesn’t say what I should get for the lining except “without nap”.
For light weight fabrics I like to use silk or polyester habotai. For medium weight fabrics, I like to use Bremsilk, which is a breathable cupro fabric made for lining. Heavy fabrics deserve a nice twill satin suit lining, and coat weight fabrics need a good coat lining. Jersey fabrics need a jersey lining, or one cut on the bias.
Here are some examples of the different types of lining and their uses:

‘With nap’ just means a one-way design or a pile (like velvet). While satin doesn’t have a nap as such, it is always wise to cut it out as if it does as there can be subtle differences in the weave that may show up when you don’t, especially with silk satins. Lining fabrics tend not to have a nap or one way design unless you chose a patterned lining.
