I've been using cotton batiste for years with great success. Be sure the batiste is 100% cotton and not a blend. It's more expensive but worth every penny.

I am also thankful that you shared using cotton batiste as your lining fabric. Here in SC it gets so hot in the summer, I was wondering how to line items and did not want to use 'slinky" fabrics as they make me even hotter. LOL But most of all, I love your fabric choice and how you combined the scraps to make a matching top.
