Suggested fabrics:

Primary fabric: Use lightweight to medium weight knit fabric with 50%-60% stretch and very good recovery. Rayon spandex (with 6% or more spandex content) and double-brushed poly are good choices.

Lining: Use lightweight knit fabric with 50%-60% stretch and very good recovery. Swimsuit lining is a great choice. It is acceptable to use the same fabric as the primary fabric.

Fabric requirements: 54" (135 cm) wide fabric: Primary fabric, 2 5/8 - 5 1/8 yd (240 - 460 cm) // Lining, 1/8 yd (10 cm).

Sizing: US 00 – 40 (approx. UK 6/8 – 34/36). Please check the designer's size chart and finished garment measurements.

Sizes 00-20 have A, B, C, D and DD cups. Sizes 22-40 have B, C, D and DD cups.

A note from the designer about bust cup options: To determine your cup size, subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1" (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2" (5 cm), use B cup; 3" (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4" (10 cm), use D cup; 5" (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
