Suggested fabrics: Use medium weight structured knit fabric with 25-35% stretch. Structured fabric is essential so that the funnel neck can stand up and not flop down. Examples are ponte, micro fleece, quilted jersey, ottoman rib and scuba.

Fabric requirements: 54″ (135 cm) wide fabric: 1 5/8 - 2 5/8 yd (150 - 240 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.

Notions: 11" (28 cm) of 3/8" or 1/2" (1 cm or 1.25 cm)-wide straight fusible stay tape (or cut your own using lightweight woven fusible interfacing on the straight grain).
