Material suggestions:

• Woven : cotton (poplin, batiste), viscose and viscose crepe, chambray, fine denim, soft linen, seersucker, double gauze.
  Jersey knit (cotton, viscose cotton ...)

Fabric and trims:

• 1,5 cm (1/2 in.) wide elastic for elasticated versions
• Bias binding for the straps
• 9 to 11 mm buttons
• 100x5 cm (40x2 in.) fusible interfacing for buttoned versions
• 45 cm (17 3/4 in.) of thin tape for jersey binding.

The fabric requirements do not include the bias binding to be purchased ready made. If you want to make your own bias binding (cut at 45° in the fabric), you will have to consider the needs indicated in brackets. NB: 1 cm (3/8'') straps from size 32 to 46 and 2 cm (7/8'') wide for 48 to 52.

For the dress elasticized at the waist, consider the number of buttons on the top (4 or 5 depending on the age), because the skirt is not buttoned.

Bias binding from haberdashery: 140 cm for classic straps, 240 cm for straps to tie. Preferably use a woven bias for woven garments and a jersey bias for jersey garments.

Thin fusible interfacing: 100x5 cm (40x2") for buttoned versions

Thin ribbon or Stabilmanche© 45 cm (17 3/4") to stabilize the jersey bias

The lining pieces for the front and back yoke are provided in the main fabric. They can of course be cut from another fabric; you will then need 15 cm of this other fabric (for a width of 140 cm).
