Suggested fabrics: A statement Petula demands fabric with extra body, to make the dress 'stand up' rather than 'fall down'. So choose, for example, woven jacquard, (silicone) poplin, taffeta or ottoman. Not such a fan of the voluminous effect? Then go for a supple fabric such as double gauze, chambray, lyocell or linen.

Fabric requirements: 110 cm wide fabric: 175 - 330 cm // 140 cm wide fabric: 160 - 275 cm.

Sizing: EU 32 – 60 / US 0 – 28 / UK 4 – 32 (approx. UK 6 – 28/30, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size chart and pattern measurements.

Notions: Iron-on interfacing, max. 60 cm; 40 cm concealed zip.
