🧵 Suggested Fabrics
This pattern is for woven, non-stretch fabrics. It works equally well for light weight, drapey fabrics, or medium weight fabrics with more body, it just changes the look slightly.
Our favorite looks: chambray, denim, flannel, challis, poplin, broadcloth, linen and quilting cottons.
🛍️ Our Favored Fabric Sources
- Gray Lines Linen – Either their mid-weight "Judy" style, or the handkerchief weight linens would work.
- SewBatik.com – Any of their batik fabrics, except the canvas, would work.
- Sew Yeah Quilting – Their quilting cotton prints section is particularly extensive.
- The Block Prints Shop on Etsy – Beautiful Indian hand block printed cottons for a hot weather dress.

📐 Yardage Requirements
Before selecting a print for this dress, note whether it’s a one-way or multi-directional design. One-way prints use more fabric, since all panels must run the same way to avoid mismatched directions. To learn more, visit our Print Guide.
