Suggested fabrics: Use medium weight knit fabric with 10%-25% stretch as well as great drape and recovery. Sweater knit and jersey are great choices. Choose a size smaller if your fabric has more than 25% stretch. You can use a contrast fabric for the waistband and band. Choose a fabric similar in weight and stretch to the primary fabric. But a contrast fabric is not necessary if you want to use only one fabric for the garment.
