Suggested fabrics: Any lightweight woven fabric. Use rayon, viscose or crepe for a very floaty top. Another option is cotton lawn for a breathable top that will be easier to sew.

Note: The back shoulder wraps around to the front, so keep in mind any directional print will be upside down at the shoulders.
