SUPPLIES
To make this top / dress, you will need:
- Fabric (55'' wide):
- for the top:
- sizes 34 to 46: 1.7 m (1 ⅞ y) of fabric
- sizes 48 to 56: 2.3 m (2 ⅝ y)
- for the dress version:
- sizes 34 to 46: 2 ¼ yards
- sizes 48 to 56: 2.8 m (3 ⅛ yards)
- Most fabrics are suitable as long as they aren’t too thick (no more than 400 gsm).
-
For the top version, I would recommend viscose, polyester, or crepe for a fluid drape (note: if you choose a drapey fabric, the top will be a little less stable at the shoulders). For a more structured drape, you can use cotton poplin or chambray. If you are brave, you can even try a stretch fabric!
-
For the dress version, to showcase the slightly A-line shape of the dress, I would recommend: cotton poplin, chambray, or crepe. For a more wintery version, you can use a light wool (a Prince of Wales wool would be charming indeed!). I do not recommend using viscose, which might be too transparent for an A-line dress. I also wouldn’t recommend using a stretch fabric, which would hide the shape of the dress.
- 40 cm (16’’) of fusible interfacing
- 1 cm (⅜”) buttons:
- 7 for the top version,
- 11 for the dress version.
