Fabric Suggestions From Core Fabrics
What You’ll Need:
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Light to medium-weight wovens and shirtings. For a crisp, classic shirt, choose structured wovens like poplin, chambray, oxford, broadcloth, and dobby and twill shirtings.
For a softer effect, choose linen, Tencel, voile, viscose, silk, or flannel.
If you’re making View B and using a heavier weight fabric like flannel, we recommend using a lightweight cotton for the smile pocket bags (Q + R).
