SUGGESTED FABRICS
The Vintage-style Skirt is a really versatile pattern that can be made in a wide range of fabrics. Depending on the occasion and season, you may choose something light-weight such as: cotton, linen, silk, crepe de chine, viscose/ rayon or charmeuse.
For a more winter-friendly version, consider mid to lightweight denim or wool, heavier silks or cottons. Keep in mind that extra fabric may be required for matching prints or stripes, or if you are using a directional print.
