[@KudaraChan]

As a seamstress, most of the linings that don't add anything visually are added due to modesty concerns or extra comfort due to the feel of the outer layer. Especially the mini linings in long skirts. If you're not bothered by the item being see through or potentially uncomfortable, or you're going to work around that via styling you can 100% remove these. Most clothing items are not made with an artistic intent behind them anyway and are instead mass produced to be eye catching. If someone put enough thought and love into it looking a certain way it wouldn't have a cheap and unimaginative lining that subtracts from the beauty of the garment.

[@Bee-ne4qo]

I prefer to dress modestly because of my Christian faith but the thing is that mini skirt underneath isn't suitable its still too short to be modest so waste of time really. Also even the longest dresses have slits up to the top of the thigh sometimes its like why. I am trying to be a part of society not flash everyone everyday 😂 but oh well now I go buy an extra skirt to buy underneath but it has to match.

[@jonahandthewolf]

​@@Bee-ne4qo it would be nicer if they put a white or nude lining under that's actually the length of the skirt, in my opinion 😅

[@GrumpetteJV]

​@@Bee-ne4qoI love the wear modest clothing because it's just so much more comfortable and practical. I just cannot be bothered pulling at skirt, hoisting up pants, watching how I stand, sit, walk and move all the time. Plus all it does is look silly.

[@MidnightHedgehog365]

@@jonahandthewolf that'd be a little hard to do effectively since for instance the skirt she has on has a long slit. And the little slip skirt is made out of a different fabric than the main garment. You run the risk of it not laying or draping correctly or even flowing correctly in the wind as you have two different fabric weights. I'm not a seamstress but I crochet and fabric weight and material is so important when it comes to how an item looks, feels, and functions when worn. I think the only way to get around that is to sew the slip directly into the skirt and that really takes away from the function of the pattern in the first place as its meant to be see through.

[@chellybabyme]

I really like how you explained why different parts of the outfit worked or didn't. A lot of the time I'll see someone put together an outfit with pieces I never would have tried together and it looks good but I'm not sure why it looks good. But you saying things like "now it looks top heavy" or explaining why the skirt looks better without it's lining is super helpful. :)
