Fabric recommendation
For a lightweight Delicia, stretchy fabrics such as jersey, viscose jersey, summer sweat, or lightweight glitter knit are suitable. In cooler seasons, you can sew a dress or tunic from wool, knit, or sweat fabric. It’s important that the fabric is at least slightly stretchy.
With very thick sweat fabric, the dress will fit more closely if you follow the given instructions.
