Fabrics & Supplies
- Fabric suggestions
- Denim, flannel, gabardine, jacquard, wool fabrics, linen, poplin, seersucker, velvet (babycord, corduroy, short-pile velvet).
- Materials
- 1 button.
- 4.5 cm (1¾″) of thin round elastic.
- Optional: thick thread for topstitching.
If the main fabric is thick, use a lightweight fabric for the two pocket bags and possibly for the facings, to reduce bulk at the seams.
For dress sizes 32 to 38, slightly less fabric may be needed if you omit the pockets (between -6 cm (-2⅜″) and -10 cm (-4″), depending on the size).
