Fabric recommendations

Consider the fabric recommendations of each block when choosing your fabric.

The base: Choose a light or medium weight woven fabric. It is recommended to pick a drapey fabric for the shorts bottom, the ruffle sleeve and the long bell sleeve for them to drape beautifully. The fabric for the bodice, pencil skirt, trousers and short sleeve can be less drapey.

Wrap skirt: Choose a medium or light weight fabric with a nice drape.

Wrap bodice: You can use either a drapey or firm, light to medium weight non-stretch fabric. Choose your fabric according to the other blocks you plan to use.

Mandarin collar: Use a medium weight, non-stretch fabric for the collared bodice. The fabric can have some drape, but a very light or drapey fabric is not recommended.

Materials

Calculate the total fabric consumption of your garment by summing up the consumption of each block that you have chosen. Check the interfacing and other material requirements (zipper, hook and eye etc.) from each block respectively.
