Note if purchasing copy shop printing: One of the pattern pieces has been split (to fit on the A0 sheet) and will need to be joined together.

Suggested fabrics: The designer recommends linen for this pattern, but you could use any light-mid weight woven fabric with a little drape such as cotton, tencel, or viscose or linen/cotton viscose blends. You may also use a mid weight wool or denim, with a lighter weight fabric for lining.

If you opt to use a different fabric for your lining, look for a complementary colour, as it may be visible from the outside.

To use your fabric wisely, you may need to cut your pattern pieces on the cross grain. Keep this in mind when considering fabric with a directional print.

Fabric requirements: This is an estimate. You may need more or less depending on your fabric, print, and width. For sizes 4-15, the skirt panels are cut on the cross grain. For sizes 10-15, the bodice and skirt panels are cut on the cross grain when using fabric that is 44" (112 cm) wide.

44" (112 cm) wide fabric: 4.4 - 7.2 yd (4 - 6.6 m).

52" (132 cm) wide fabric: 3.6 - 6.8 yd (3.3 - 6.3 m).
