The designer recommends cutting the facings from the same fabric you use to sew the garment. This is advised when sewing a bias-cut garment as even the slightest difference in the properties of the main fabric and facing fabric can cause garment distortion.
The garment in the cover photo is made of dress-weight artificial silk. The fabric is medium-weight, pliable, soft and non-stretch. The fibre content is 100% polyester.
Fabric requirements: When purchasing fabric, buy 5% more than required to account for shrinkage.
