Any medium-weight woven fabric will do as the skirt is lined, however you may choose not to go "reversible" and use a heavier bottomweight. I suggest looking at broadcloth, crashcloth, percale, poplin, sateen, or garbardine as possibilities. The important thing to keep in mind is that the fiber content of both fabrics should be compatible to make care maintenance easy. eg. match natural fibers with natural fibers and synthetic with synthetic.

Do you have such a pattern or am I dreaming? :) Hello,

You asked why the shaping at the hemline. The reason behind squaring at point D is so that when you sew the panels together you will get a straight hem at the intersection points. Otherwise, it will result in having an uneven hem if you only made a straight line. The math behind it is that all vertical lengths are the same measurement; in this case, your desired finished length. WD Thx for the kind words, Diana.
