RECOMMENDED FABRICS
The Daphne Dress & Top shines in lightweight woven fabrics with a relaxed drape. Opt for breezy cotton lawn, batiste, poplin, or lightweight linen and linen blends. For added texture, try cotton seersucker or double gauze. Since Daphne is unlined, choose an opaque fabric — especially for the dress views! For a vintage-inspired touch, experiment with lace or eyelet trim, or sew up a whole top in eyelet for a romantic feel.
We always recommend that you pre-wash your fabric in the manner you intend to wash your finished garment; this way, your garment will not shrink.
