Choose the Right Lining for Silk Drapery Panels

We used a simple lining and inter-lining to allow these silk panels to stack-back tightly when opened

but we had a different objective for the panel below.  

 Here we wanted to create soft, uniform pleating.

The secret to getting softly rounded folds is choosing the right lining.  You won't have the same results by using the typical lining and inter-lining commonly used with soft silks.
