Fabric recommendations

Choose a medium weight non-stretch fabric. Your fabric can have a little drape, or be very stable like the brocade in our sample. Note that light or drapey fabrics don’t work with a robust metal zipper, so if your fabric is light or has more than a little drape, opt for a regular spiral zipper or even an invisible zipper. Choose a firm rib knit for the collar.

Materials

  • Rib knit, 15 cm (1/4 yd)
  • Fusible non-stretch interfacing, 85 cm (1 yd)
  • Fusible knit interfacing, 15 cm (1/4 yd)
  • 60 cm (24”) metal zipper
  • 3.5 cm (1 3/8”) elastic for cuffs, 55 cm (3/4 yd)
  • 4 cm (1 5/8”) elastic for waist, your waist circumference
  • 5 cm (2”) ribbon for the elastic casing, 115 cm (1 1/4 yd)
