Pattern Difficulty: Intermediate

Suggested Fabrics:

• For a more structured look, choose crisp cottons such as broadcloth, voile, poplin, chambray, and other shirtings. Quilting cotton is also an excellent choice. For a more cozy set, choose cotton flannel or light to midweight linen.
• For a more glamorous or evening look, choose drapey fabrics like silk crepe de chine, satin, tencel, rayon challis, and viscose.
• The top can also be made as a lightweight jacket or shacket in midweight cotton twills and lightweight wools.
