Fabric Suggestions:

Stretch fabrics with at least 40% stretch – preferably containing spandex or lycra.

Please note that this pattern has negative ease, and as such it is very important to choose fabrics with the appropriate amount of stretch in order to get the right fit.

To test for stretch percentage, use the stretch percentage ruler or measure a swatch width ways (a), then stretch it to its maximum and measure again (b).  Calculate: b divided by a, minus 1.  This is your stretch percentage.

Our Micromodal fabrics would be perfect – photo shows grey marl, smoked pearl and black.
