Fabric requirements

Choose a structured, medium-weight woven fabric that holds the sleeve shape and the bow, like silk taffeta or cotton satin.

Lining: Fully lined: 1 m (1.1 yd) of lining on 130 cm (51") wide fabric.

Fabric needed:

  • 1.5 m (1.6 yd) of 130 cm (51") wide fabric
  • or 1.8 m (2 yd) of 115 cm (45") wide fabric

For a bow in a second fabric, like the original, add 90 cm (1 yd).

  • Interfacing tape
  • Matching thread
