Fabric suggestions
For both variations, choose a lightweight, non-stretch fabric. For an airy and voluminous look, pick a fabric without drape, such as double gauze, cotton lawn or washed linen. For a more flowy and elegant result, choose a drapey fabric, such as viscose challis, crepe, or satin.
This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Check the finished measurements for your size and, if necessary, select a size smaller than usually if you want the garment to be more fitted.
