Suggested fabrics:

Primary fabric: Use medium to medium-heavy weight knit fabric with 5-15% stretch such as microfleece, sherpa fleece and sweatshirting. Medium weight stretch woven is also acceptable.

Contrast fabric: Use stable lightweight woven fabric with no stretch such as quilting cotton and chambray. This fabric is for the front placket.

Bias binding fabric: Use stable lightweight woven fabric with no stretch such as quilting cotton and chambray. Ideally, use a fabric that will result in a nice sharp crease when pressed. This can be the same as the contrast fabric.

Fabric requirements: 

Primary fabric: 54″ (135 cm) wide fabric: 1 1/4 - 2 3/8 yd (110 - 220 cm).

Contrast fabric: 54″ (135 cm) wide fabric: 1/2 - 5/8 yd (40 - 50 cm).

Bias binding fabric: 54″ (135 cm) wide fabric: 1/2 yd (50 cm). If you use the same fabric for your contrast fabric and bias binding, the amount listed for the contrast fabric is sufficient; no additional fabric is needed.

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.
