Materials
1) Dress Fabric: Lightweight cotton/cotton blends
You may use stretch fabric (i.e. interlock, cotton lycra) if desired.
Don’t use silk, satin, or anything slippery unless you feel comfortable using these materials.
Remember, matching seams can be difficult with certain prints (plaid, stripes, etc.) so take
this into consideration when choosing your fabric.
