Suggested fabrics: Light- to medium-weight woven fabric that has no stretch. The drape or hand of the fabric will impact the look of the final garment – softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics like linen and cotton will emphasise the sleeve and collar shaping. Some wonderful choices are chambray, viscose-linen slub, sandwashed linen or cotton, cotton ikat, or even silk noil.
