Fabric suggestions
For the Skirt, choose a light- to medium-weight woven fabric with no stretch. Softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics like linen and cotton will emphasize the gathers and A-line shape. Sandwashed linen or cotton, poplin, voile, chambray, viscose-linen slub, challis, or silk noil are good choices.
For View B, choose a stable fabric to make sewing the tucks and lace insets easier.
For the Tank Top, cotton jersey spandex or other mid-weight knit fabric with at least 40% stretch and good recovery. Rib knits are not recommended.
For a flowier top with less support: Knit fabric with rayon or bamboo content, in addition to spandex.
Suggested weight range: 5.8 oz to 8.9 oz (198 to 300 GSM).
View A is a classic tiered skirt.
View B adds creative style: horizontal tucks of two different widths, inset lace constructed using an heirloom technique,
and lace behind the hem that is secured under the edge of a tuck.
