Suggested Fabrics:

• •Fabric content will affect the drape and fit.
• •Bodice/skirt fabrics: Drafted for a light medium-weight knit with at least 40% stretch.
  • Cotton lycra, double brushed polyester, bamboo lycra, rayon blends, poly spandex, rib knit, ITY, waffle, etc.
  • Using fabrics with less recovery for the bodice, such as rayon spandex will ‘grow’ with wear and feel looser/longer than the intended fit.
  • If using a knit with less recovery, you may wish to size down if in between sizes and will need to stabilize the bodice and tiered skirt with knit interfacing or clear elastic.
• •Bubble romper/optional bloomer bottom: suitable for knit or woven fabric.

Notions:

• •Bubble romper option: 1/4″ elastic, snaps or snap tape
• •Bloomer: 1/4″ elastic
• •Optional: 1/2″ wash away hem tape, knit twin needle, 1/4″ or 3/8″ clear elastic or knit fusible interfacing
• •Basics: thread, pins or clips, scissors, ruler, hem gauge, and marking tool. Ballpoint, stretch, or jersey needle.
