| I am making bridesmaids dresses out of silk shantung. Which lining would be the best - Ambiance bemberg rayon or Sun Silky polyester? I am to the understanding that they both are anti-static/anti-cling. Help!!!!!! |

| Unless money is a factor, I would recommend using a silk for the lining. Mixing synthetics and natural fibers does not always work well as they behave much differently. Consider spun silk, china silk, silk crepe de chine, or silk charmeuse. Use a weight that will work well with your shantung. |
