fabrics

This is a style for woven, non-stretch fabrics.

The main photo shows how the dress would be made with a border print, in this case, C19.8 Hand Printed Cotton Voile - white on black***.  If the fabric you choose doesn't have a border, then it won't have that extra details (as in the 2nd photo where it shown in a square neckline in the C12.7 Slub Cotton in teal / black **). Mannequins show the square neckline, also in C19.8 in the white on purple colorway, and in the Blue Vine Hand Printed Cambric C25.9.

If your fabric is narrow (less than 54" wide), or it is a one way print, add 1 yard.
