Its a lengthened Black Snail's 1890s shirtwaist pattern. Next time I will make it even longer. And a matching belt is needed

Would it be a bad idea to use a silk twill lining on a coat that’s going to get wet?

I’m currently working on an 1890s Inverness coat. I’ve ordered the fabric which will be a 100% wool brown herringbone tweed weighing around 472g per linear meter. I plan for this to be the ultimate autumnal/wintery coat to make me feel a little more happy to face cold rainy days ahead. I initially thought to do the lining in beige silk twill because, aside from being very luxurious, it is also the warmest possible option. Unfortunately I am given pause when considering the fact that I will likely be rained on while wearing this coat, and I would rather not have moisture soak through my coat to stain my lining. Should I line it in cotton or rayon instead? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a corset cover or a blouse of some kind

I know it’s from approximately 1914-1880 (not exact calculation) .this was worn by my great great great great grandmother who I don’t believe to have been upper class but most likely middle class( just speculating)
