Suggested Fabric:
Perfect for knit fabrics of all kinds. You need at least 25% stretch (see Stretch % Guide below). If you choose a knit with more body, like a ponte, it will have a more structured modern look. If you sew it in a drapier knit, like a rayon jersey, it will have a more romantic look.
