Simone Slip Dress + Camisole Pattern
Fabric and Supplies
SUGGESTED FABRIC
For best results, look for drapey and fluid woven fabrics like silk crepe, satin, chiffon, georgette, viscose or rayon challis (if you are new to sewing on the bias, avoid very slippery fabrics like silk charmeuse and satin).
You may also try lightweight woven fabrics with an open weave like linen and cotton gauze. Avoid densely woven and stable fabrics, as they are too structured and will not drape and conform to the body.
If you'd like to add a lace panel, use stretch or rigid lace with a scalloped edge, a minimum of 4" (10cm) wide.
