RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Sew Liberated recommend a light-to medium-weight woven fabric that has no stretch.
The drape or hand of the fabric will impact the look of the final garment. Softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics will emphasise the leg shaping. Some wonderful choices are chambray, viscose-linen slub, sand-washed linen or cotton, ikat, Brussels washer linen, light twill (like Ventana twill), or cotton-linen blend. Recommended fabrics range in weight from 4.8 oz to 7.9 oz (155 – 268 GSM).
