Fabrics & Supplies
- Fabric suggestions
- Warp and weft: poplin, batiste, viscose, viscose crepe, chambray, lightweight denim, soft linen, seersucker, double gauze
- Knit: jersey
- Supplies
- 1.5 cm wide elastic for elasticized versions
- Bias tape for straps: 140 cm for classic straps, 240 cm for tie straps
- Buttons 9 to 11 mm
- Iron-on interfacing max 100 x 5 cm for buttoned versions
- 45 cm of narrow ribbon or Stabilmanche© to stabilize jersey bias tape
The fabric requirements do not include ready-made bias tape to purchase. If you want to make your own bias tape (cut at 45° on the fabric), you should consider the requirements indicated in parentheses. Note: straps are 1 cm wide for sizes 32 to 46 and 2 cm wide for sizes 48 to 52. - Regarding the elastic, it is best to measure your waist and cut the elastic to that length. The two ends of the elastic will overlap by 1 cm to form the seam allowances, ensuring the elastic is under tension and holds well. The lining pieces for the front and back yoke are included in the main fabric. They can of course be cut from a different fabric; in that case, you will need 15 cm of this other fabric (for a width of 140 cm).
