Fabric
For View A, look for rayon challis, tencel twill, silk noil, or other fabric with fantastic drape. View B can handle a slightly stiffer woven fabric in addition to those recommended for View A. Good possibilities include mid-weight linen, double gauze, cotton ikats, and lightweight denim.
For View A
45” wide fabric
All sizes: 3-1/4 yards (3 m)
54” wide fabric
Sizes 0-22: 2-3/4 yards (2.5 m)
Sizes 24-34: 3 yards (2.75 m)
For View B
54” wide fabric only
Sizes 0-22: 3-1/4 yards (3 m)
Sizes 24-34: 3-1/2 yards (3.2 m)
45″ wide fabrics are not recommended for View B as it is not wide enough.
