Crew ponte dress somewhere that stretched out *and* creeps up. Yay for lining! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-point-of-a-lining-in-a-ponte-dress#post-438500 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 15:49:29 +0000 cjh 438500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And it helps keep the knit from stretching out and making it's own "bottom" while you are sitting down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-point-of-a-lining-in-a-ponte-dress#post-438103 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:20:58 +0000 Beth 438103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah. Without a lining, it'll creep right up to your waist. :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-point-of-a-lining-in-a-ponte-dress#post-437952 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:57:12 +0000 Freckles 437952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knits can get really clingy too...yes for lining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-point-of-a-lining-in-a-ponte-dress#post-437885 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:45:48 +0000 ironkurtin 437885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhh ok. I assume it won't stick to any spanx or anything else I wear to bolster the bulge then either. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-point-of-a-lining-in-a-ponte-dress#post-437880 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:41:36 +0000 catgirl 437880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing one today, I can tell you it's to prevent it from sticking to your tights. 100% necessary in my case, so I don't need a slip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-the-point-of-a-lining-in-a-ponte-dress#post-437879 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 20:40:44 +0000 ironkurtin 437879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just received a beautiful shapely dress, which actually makes it kindof look like I have a waist! The weird thing is, it's black ponte and certainly not sheer. But from under the bust down it is lined in a (very nice) silk. I'm wondering what the silk is for. Doesn't even a little bit of extra fabric on stomach and thighs add a little bulk? Ponte feels nice on its own, so... any ideas? </p>
