The notion of adding interfacing has been an on-and-off thought throughout the process. I finally opted not to do it because of the already high combined pleat-weight (3 layers fabric + 3 lining + seam allowances), but you are right the bias stretching was a horrible factor to deal with ^_^;

[...] lining construction that supports its shiny counterpart took considerably less effort to make, merging the prosperities of both established methods [...]

I might have added a light fleece under the silky fabric because I can imagen that the boarders are very streatchy, are they?
(And also to keep the form after ironing)

I always baste non-straight seams and by now it’s become such an automation that I wouldn’t even think of not doing so for such a precise project.

The ironing was hell. It needed huge amount of steam for making sure the pleats would lie flat without the seam allowances pushing through. >.<

OMG I never had attached it with hand to each other… I’m way to lazy for this. I just use my sewingmachine and only loosen the thread, so that I can easily pull it out when it isn’t needed anymore.
And my congrats that you survived ironing it. It taked a lot of patience for perfect pleats ^^
