Suggested fabrics: Choose a lightweight woven cotton fabric. Consider light and airy fabrics such as Indian block prints, lightweight Japanese cottons, cotton voile or similar materials. If you prefer a heavier fabric, it's advisable to sew a toile first using a fabric of comparable weight to ensure the finished dress isn't too heavy to wear. The sample was made from an 87 gsm Indian block print.
