Hi, I am either making or hiring out a casual pinch-pleated patio panel drape. The face fabric is a home decor from JoAnn's, a "silkesse" as it is called--polyester. (It's the perfect color and look I'm after, so I'm thrilled about finding it.) It is thin and slippery.

I already searched here and learned about interlining with flannel that is sold for this purpose (and about pre-washing it as well, good tip!) I should do this, yes?

I need also to line it, but what would be the best lining to insulate from weather and still keep a sense of flow with the fabric and pleats? I'm concerned about the heavy lining that is girdle-like fabric--not sure what it's called.

There appears to be many new products on the market, so I'm hoping one will help me achieve both things: form and function.

Thanks much.
