FABRIC REQUIREMENTS

Fabric consumption is based on fabric 145 cm (57 in) wide.

The amount required depends on your selected size and height range.

FABRIC CONSUMPTION – EU 34–42 (meters)

FABRIC CONSUMPTION – EU 44–52 (meters)

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

The pattern instructions include an example fabric layout to help minimize fabric consumption.

Additional Supplies:

• Concealed zipper

• Button

• Button loops

• Thin elastic band

• 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 / rayon

• Soft, lightweight woven fabrics

• Flowing dress fabrics

• Fabrics without elastane or with a small amount of stretch

For the original sample, I used 100% viscose fabric.

This soft, lightweight material creates beautiful draping and allows the dress to fall naturally around the body.

For the best result, choose a fabric that is:

• Soft and lightweight

• Fluid and comfortable

• Suitable for elegant dressmaking

• Able to drape naturally without excessive stiffness

The fabric choice has an important influence on the finished silhouette.
