To sew this skirt, choose suiting fabrics with the following properties:
- medium weight, easily pressed and steamed, soft, non-stretch or with very little stretch, opaque
- the fiber content can include natural fibers (wool, cotton), blends (wool + silk, wool + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + polyurethane)
- the following fabrics are recommended: wool suiting, cotton gabardine, corduroy, faux suede, faux leather
Attention! We do not recommend thin dress-weight fabrics (wool, cotton, polyester).
For the lining, we recommend artificial fibers (viscose), blends (viscose + elastane, viscose + polyester), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane).
The skirt in the photo is made of faux leather. The fabric is medium weight, soft, has very little stretch and presses well. The fiber content is a blend of polyester and polyurethane.
The lining is 100% viscose.
