While it is an extra step in making a skirt, adding a skirt lining is important in my view for the following reasons. A skirt lining:
- covers interfacing, interlining, finishings, boning, and internal seams that otherwise would make the garment feel unfinished
- provides extra warmth in cool weather
- keeps you cool and absorbs sweat when using synthetics fabric on the outside and cotton on the inside
- prevents a lot of friction, wear and tear, and lengthens the wearability of a garment
- adds elegance to a garment and make it look professionally made
