FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: View fabric requirements chart here.

Designed for woven fabrics, this pattern performs best in fabrics with some drape - rayon & linen rayon blends are ideal. Viscose-based chambray also works beautifully. 

While lightweight cottons and linens are still good, it’s best to avoid heavier fabrics like denim, sateen, or drill—unless you’re after a more structured shape.

This pattern is tailor-made for large graphic prints. 

See tutorial page 6 for extensive information on how fabric choices affect your tent dress.
