Phew - I found my way out of the closet, clutching a sweet pink and mushroom/taupe narrow striped polished cotton for the lining. I have the coutil, thanks to Donna's kit full of supplies from last summer. Coutil is a VERY tightly woven cotton with a bit of weight to it, for the basic support of the corset. It's not always easy to find, nor cheap, but is the best for inside. And it's always online. You can also use a really heavy cotton, almost a light canvas, whatever will give the corset a certain weight and inner support.I'm ironing all the pattern pieces, with all the fabrics next up: the outer, the lining and the coutil for the inside of the sandwich.
Now, gotta wash all fabrics, dry, iron really flat and clear the deck for cutting!
