Fabric Suggestions: Perfect for knit fabrics of all kinds. You need at least 25% stretch. 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.
Trims required: Matching thread, stretch machine needle, safety pin, optional: clear elastic for stabilizing shoulder and yoke seams.
Skill Level: Suitable for a confident beginner skill level.
Seam allowances are included in the pattern.
The paper pattern is printed on tissue paper, comes packaged in an envelope and includes highly detailed fully illustrated instructions.
