Fabric and Notions requirements:
- 20 cm of iron-on interfacing
- 2 buttons of about 10-15 mm for the buttoned sleeve version
- Fabric for a width of 140 cm:
sizes 34-46 : 150 cm
sizes 48-52 : 165 cm
Fabric suggestions:
Lightweight fabrics (80 to 160 g/m2) with more or less hold depending on the desired effect on the folds. Be careful, your fabric must mark well with the iron and not deform too much: viscose, tencel, cotton, crepe, poplin, satin, or twill. The openwork fabrics will also be interesting for this model, especially since the cleanliness of the neckline is achieved with a bias.
