WHAT TO BRING:
2.5 metres of lightweight woven fabric (such as cotton lawn, double gauze, viscose, linen blends or chambray) for a midi-length skirt. This amount suits most sizes up to approximately UK 18. If you're making a longer skirt or are a larger size, we recommend 3 metres to be sure of plenty of fabric.
A note on fabric: widths between 110cm and 140cm work well. Lightweight fabrics with good drape (viscose, rayon, cotton lawn or double gauze) give the best result. Please avoid heavier fabrics.
