🧵 Suggested Fabrics
For the Culottes/split skirt, softer, drapier fabrics are the best choice because they allow the wide leg to fall and move beautifully.
Luxury Rayon Jersey is ideal and is the fabric shown in the main photo in solid black. Rayon Challis, a lightweight woven fabric, is also an excellent choice.
Cotton Spandex Jersey can be used, but it has more body and structure than rayon, so the finished pant will have a slightly fuller, less fluid look.
Other suitable fabrics include soft French Terry, lightweight Ponte, Linen, and other woven, stretch woven, or knit fabrics with good drape.
