180 cm (1.8 m / approximately 71 in / 2 yd) of fabric.

This amount is not included in the dress fabric requirements listed above.

Add the scarf fabric requirement to the amount needed for your chosen dress size and height.

Fabric consumption is calculated for fabric laid flat, not folded in half.

Additional Supplies:

• Buttons for the concealed side closure

• Coordinating thread

• Sewing machine and basic sewing tools

• Iron

If using fabric of a different width, check your pattern layout before purchasing your materials.

We recommend purchasing at least 10% extra fabric.

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS

Suggested Fabrics:

• Viscose satin

• Silk satin

• Lightweight crepe

• Other suitable lightweight, flowing woven dress fabrics

This pattern is designed for non-stretch woven fabrics with a soft, fluid drape.

The bias-cut construction allows the fabric to follow the body's natural curves and creates elegant movement.

Viscose satin and silk satin are beautiful choices for a fluid, feminine finish, while lightweight crepe creates a softer, understated look.

Please note: Fabrics containing elastane are not recommended for this pattern.

Choosing a fabric with the right drape is essential for achieving the intended silhouette and cascading back details.
