The low front and back V-necklines and narrow straps were designed to cover bra straps and optional bra keeper instructions are included to hide and secure your bra straps within the garment for that extra couture detail.
With two pocket options, three hem finishes, two waist finishes and two hem lengths, you can mix and match any of the version's features.
Fabrics: Light-weight woven fabrics such as linen, linen blends, cotton lawn, silk noil, silk crepe de chine, wool gabardine and just about any woven dress-weight fabric that isn't too thick or stiff. Note that stable fabrics such as cotton lawn may result in a tighter fit at the upper bust while fabrics with drape such as rayon challis may result in a looser fit.
Sundries: Thread, light-weight fusible interfacing, versions #3 & #4 - 1 1/2"/40mm wide elastic. Optional bra keeper chain and snap requires two small snap sets approximately 8mm or size 2/0 and a hand sewing needle.
Tools: Fabric scissors or rotary cutter, iron and ironing board, straight pins, tailors chalk, hand sewing needle.
