Lightweight knit fabrics with at least 25% stretch such as cotton jersey, viscose jersey, silk jersey. Stable knits such as ponte Roma, hacci sweater, velvet jersey and French terry will work also but will result in a less drapey/slinky garment.

Controversially, some drapey wovens with a little stretch, such as viscose crepe, can also work given the relaxed fit of the top. Make sure that you check the fit with a toile first, and bear in mind that if you want to make the dress variations in a woven, you will have to include a zipper at the back, adding on 5/8” or 15mm seam allowance at the centre back and cutting that back piece as a pair as opposed to on the fold.
