Suggested fabrics: Lightweight wovens (2-6 oz/yd²) with a moderate or fluid drape. If you are lining your skirt and/or adding godets, the designer highly recommends using fabrics weighing 4 oz/yd² or less (especially for the lining itself). Using thicker fabric can make the lining process and waistband construction quite tricky. Avoid knit fabrics or fabrics with a lot of stretch.

Fabric requirements: The requirements are the minimum amounts needed and do not account for directional fabric, pattern matching, or fabric shrinkage.
