Fabric Suggestion:
When you're looking for the perfect fabric to create your new summer outfit, consider a lightweight woven fabric, like cotton poplin, rayon challis or linen blends. They're lightweight and soft fabrics so it will be comfortable to wear
How much fabric do you need for your diy dress?
In the following table, we've included fabric requirements for each size. The measurements apply to fabrics with a width useful for 140-150 cm. You may need to redo pattern placement depending upon how wide your fabric is.
Check your contraction!
Be sure to buy fabric that is on the contraction-friendly side of things. You'll want it steamed and ironed at its highest recommended temperature, which will help keep your garment a true fit to its sewn size even after the initial wash.
