Suggested fabrics: Fabrics with a bit of structure, such as cotton poplin, linen and denim, will give this garment the body needed to make the most of the utility styling. If using denim, the designer recommends no heavier than 9 oz. For a fancy version, use a sparkly brocade or embroidered cotton.

Fabric requirements: The quantities have been calculated with the pattern cut in one direction. You may need less if you are not using a directional fabric.
