Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight fabrics will work equally well with different effect. Fabrics such as denim, twill, poplin, broadcloth, linen, linen blends, suiting, gabardine, pique and wool blends will result in a more structured garment. Lighter weight fabrics such as cottons, rayon, tencels, silks, etc. will result in a looser flowy garment.
Fabric requirements: Additional fabric may be required to match patterned fabric.
