Is non-stretch fabric okay to use for this pattern?
I would definitely recommend using stretch fabric. If you plan to use non-stretch, I would size up at least 1 size.
Hi! Beautiful pattern! how many yards just for the top?
Hi Lisa, it depends on the size but I recommend at least 2 yards for the top if making a size S-L.
Can you use the Valore? Fabric?
Hi Jo! Yes, you could use Velour fabric. I would recommend using something that has a little bit of stretch, so velour is perfect.
