I'm reconstructing an old jersey knit tanktop into a babydoll dress with some vintage linen fabric. The tank will be cut below the bust to make an empire waist where the linen will be attached for the "dress" part. QUESTION: How do I best connect them? My problem is that the top is already pre-made & stretchy, while the bottom is non-stretch & simply 2 pieces of fabric (for front & back) Will I have to stretch the top as I move along w/ the sewing machine, in order to gather the bottom properly at the waist? Should I create a "skirt" with the linen pieces prior to connecting the top? I've made these before, but never with 2 completely different types of material!

Try this: line the top with iron-on or sew-in interfacing to turn it non-stretchy. After that, you can tell how wide the bottom part will need to be.
