To sew this dress, choose soft, medium-weight, medium-stretch or high-stretch knit fabrics made of natural fibers, artificial fibers, blends, or synthetics. The stretch factor should be at least 1.4.

The following fabrics are recommended: sweater knits, knits, ribbed knits.

Attention! We recommend using only soft stretchy fabrics for this dress.

You can determine the stretch factor of your fabric yourself. Mark 10 cm (4") along the crosswise grain of the fabric, lay a ruler next to the marked section and stretch the fabric. Divide the measurement you get by 10.

The dress in the photo is made of soft knit fabric. The fabric is soft, stretchy, opaque, elastic, wrinkle-resistant, and not scratchy. The fiber content is 96% viscose and 4% elastane. The fabric weight is 274 g/m2.

3. Clear elastic, 5 mm (just under 1/4") wide, for sizes in all heights — 25 cm (9 7/8")

4. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker)

- sewing machine for construction

- overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. It can be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)

- coverstitch or coverlock machine for finishing the bottom edges of the garment and sleeves. If you don’t have a coverstitch machine, it can be replaced with a twin needle on any regular sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch

Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
