Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric gives the best slip dress drape?

Silk charmeuse, satin-back crepe, or rayon are the classic choices. Any lightweight fabric that flows on the bias will work beautifully.

Is bias cutting difficult?

Bias cutting requires a bit more care when laying out and cutting, but the construction itself is straightforward. The pattern guides you through the process.
