To sew this bustier top, choose medium-weight, soft, highly stretchy knit fabrics. The stretch factor should be at least 1.5.
You can determine the stretch factor yourself. Mark a 10 cm (4") section across the width of the fabric, lay a ruler next to the marked section, and stretch the fabric. Divide the measurement you get by 10.
