Choose a light to medium-weight, non-stretch fabric. Depending on the desired result, you can select either a low-drape fabric or a fabric with a little drape. Cotton, linen, Tencel and rayon shirtings or dress-weight fabrics are recommended. The samples were sewn from our Roosa and Sini rescue melange cottons.
For the ties, choose a stable woven ribbon, such as a twill or herringbone band made of linen or cotton. Our rescue cotton ribbon was used for the sample. If your fabric is light or drapey, interface the neckline and the pocket openings using fusible interfacing.
