Fabric Requirements
Light to medium weight fabrics with plenty of drape work well for all variations. Ideal fabrics include: crepe de chine, cotton, crepe, challis, lawn, rayon, linen, light weight wool, tencel and chambray. Fabrics with structure and little drape are better suited to view C & D. Additional fabric may be required for pattern matching.
