We recommend a light to medium weight woven fabric for this pattern. Suitable fabrics include: cotton lawn, chambray, viscose challis, viscose twill, cotton poplin, craft cotton, linen, baby cord.
However, because of the looser fit and simple styling, you can use this pattern to really experiment with new fabrics. We’ve made it in stable scuba jersey, stretch velvet and sequins, lined with jersey! Take a look at our Inspiration section for lots of ideas!

It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. For this pattern we have opted to use sizing 1-8, which approximately covers UK sizes 8 – 24. Measure yourself first to choose the right size for you!
