Suggested fabrics:

Primary fabric: Use medium weight four-way or two-way stretch knit with great recovery and good drape, such as jersey, interlock, sweater knit and rib knit. Note that without good drape the top may gape at the cut outs. Ideal stretch is at least 40%.

Contrast fabric: Use light to medium weight woven fabric with or without stretch, such as shirting, twill, sateen, seersucker, crepe de chine and charmeuse. Avoid using feather weight fabric as the fabric may creep up when you move. Also avoid heavy woven fabric.
