Fabric Recommendations
Petrichor makes friends effortlessly with mid-weight woven fabrics with plenty of drape. Soft, washed linens, linen-rayon blends, and silk noil are all good choices.
Avoid crisp cottons such as poplin and quilting cotton, as well as heavier weight fabrics such as canvas, as these fabrics do not play well with the yoke gathers.
