Suggested fabrics: 

Outer fabric: Medium/heavy weight woven fabric with some drape. Soft fabrics such as wool blends, tweed and faux fur are ideal. Knit/stretch fabrics are not recommended as they will cause the shape to distort and affect the fit.

Lining fabric: Lightweight woven fabric. Woven cottons such as quilting cotton, lawn and poplin look great and are easy to work with. Silky/synthetic lining fabrics look beautiful and are lovely to wear but are harder to work with.
