Fabric Requirements
Light to medium weight fabrics will work equally well with different effect.
Fabrics such as denim, twill, poplin, broadcloth, linen, linen blends, suiting, gabardine, pique and wool blends will result in a more structured garment.
Lighter weight fabrics such as cottons, rayon, silks etc will result in a looser, flowy garment.
Additional fabric may be required to pattern match.
