Fabric recommendations
Choose a light weight or medium weight non-stretch shirting. The rayon of the sample garment is quite drapey but you can choose a less drapey fabric, such as lightweight linen, if you prefer.
This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Check the finished measurements for your size and, if necessary, select a size smaller than usually if you want the garment to be more fitted.

- Small buttons, 10 pcs
- 2 cm (3/4”) ribbon for drawstring casing, 160 cm (1 3/4 yd)
- Cord for drawstring, your waist circumference + 70 cm (3/4 yd)
