Suggested Fabrics: For all garments, stretch knits such as Ponte, Cotton/LYCRA, Rayon/LYCRA, Stretch Velvet/Velour, Rayon blends, ITY. Taper Skirt and Tee need a fabric with at least 75% stretch.
The Straight Skirt pattern can be used with non-stretch fabrics as well but size up using the Finished Garment Measurements Chart for the amount of wearing ease you want.
The Taper Skirt can be made from woven fabrics only if a zipper is added.
A great variety of well shaped basics with an edge. The patterns are simple and the fit is easy but the design options are endless. These patterns pair well with all of the jackets in the collection and can be made with stretch and non-stretch fabrics.
Even though the Straight Skirt only has one pattern piece the fit is incredible. Just the right amount of ease at the elastic waist and a perfectly shaped hip curve makes this skirt a new favorite.
The Top has wonderful waist shaping and a close armhole and shoulder line that gives shape but is not tight fitting even in the larger sizes.
Suggested design options: A great variety of well-shaped basics with an edge. Flounces, ruching, turtlenecks, negative ease, length and proportion to name a few. These patterns can be the base pieces for all the jackets in the collection and some can be made with stretch and non-stretch fabrics..
