Bra top attached to cotton tulle bodice. Bust cups sewn into place. The seam allowance have been overcast and stitched down.
For the lining of the bra top, I have backed the duchess satin with 400 count plain weave pima cotton. I chose the pima cotton because it is as strong as different woven interfacings but it is softer and a better match for the duchess satin. I attach the backing to each duchess satin piece by hand over casting around the edges. This holds the layers together while also keeping the duchess satin from fraying. On some of the pieces with wider curves, I also stitched a running stitch (or stay stitch) about 1/8" from the edge to give it a bit more stability.
