Suggested fabrics: Use a lightweight woven fabric such as shirting, rayon challis, batiste, chambray, lightweight linen, or lightweight broadcloth. Keep in mind that the wrong side of the fabric will be visible on the ruffles and flutter sleeves, so choose your fabric accordingly. If you opt for the armhole ruffles, note that the fabric can become quite bulky — be sure to use very lightweight fabric.

Fabric requirements: 54" (135 cm) wide fabric: Knee length, 2 5/8 - 3 1/8 yd (230 - 280 cm) // Long length, 3 1/8 - 3 3/4 yd (280 - 330 cm) // Ruffled hem, 3 3/4 - 4 3/8 yd (340 - 400 cm) // Add flutter sleeves, 1/4 - 5/8 yd (30 - 50 cm).

A note from the designer about bust cup options: To determine your cup size, subtract the circumference of your over bust from the circumference of the fullest part of your bust. If the rounded difference is 1" (2.5 cm), use A cup; 2" (5 cm), use B cup; 3" (7.5 cm), use C cup; 4" (10 cm), use D cup; 5" (12.5 cm), use DD cup.
