Recommended fabrics

To sew this dress, choose dress-weight and suiting fabrics with the following properties:

• Medium-weight, soft, structured, non-stretch or low-stretch.
• The fibre content can include natural fibres (wool, silk, cotton, linen), artificial fibres (viscose), blends (wool + silk, wool + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane).
• The following fabrics are recommended: dress-weight wool, wool suiting, silk suiting, cotton, linen, crepe, gabardine.

We do not recommend stretchy knit materials (jersey fabrics), or lightweight sheer fabrics (chiffon, organza, stretch lace).

For the lining, use lining fabrics made of artificial fibres (viscose), blends (viscose + elastane, viscose + polyester), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane).

The dress in the photos is made of suiting. The fabric is soft, not very heavy, holds its shape well, doesn’t wrinkle, doesn’t contain elastane, but stretches slightly due to the weave. The fibre content is 65% polyester + 35% viscose. The lining is 100% viscose.
