When made with a cotton jersey or interlock fabric‚ the top can be paired with your favorite shorts or jeans for a perfect summer outfit. When made with a slinky knit‚ Kathryn can be your go-to dress for a date night out. The three sets of pleats along the round neckline provides interest to an otherwise simple garment. An empire-waist seam visually elongates your legs‚ yet the natural waist is shaped‚ so your curves are not buried. There’s no sleeve to sew‚ but your upper arm is covered by the extended shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRecommended fabrics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e Light to medium light-weight knit fabric with 60% to 100% two-way or four-way stretch is ideal. Jersey‚ interlock and French terry are great choices. If you use fabric with less stretch‚ you may choose a larger size. Conversely‚ if you use fabric with more stretch‚ you may choose a smaller size. The same fabric is used to line the top front. However‚ if your knit fabric is on the heavier side‚ you may choose to line the top front with a lighter-weight knit fabric. Jersey and tricot are great choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacing Fabric A\u003c\/strong\u003e  front neckline facing is used to support the pleats.
