To sew this dress, choose lightweight or medium-weight, soft, non-stretch or low-stretch, opaque or semi-sheer dress-weight fabrics made of natural fibers, artificial fibers, blends, or synthetics.
The following fabrics are recommended: satin, crepe de chine, natural silk, artificial silk.
Fabrics with a blended fiber content are preferable, as they are less prone to wrinkling, generally more resistant to wear and tear, and more durable.
As an additional fabric, we recommend using lace fabric or embroidered non-stretch mesh, either transparent or matching the main fabric.
Attention! We do not recommend stretchy knit fabrics.
