Main Fabric – The exterior of the dress can be made from nearly any medium-weight woven fabric. If you use a fabric that is stiffer, it will give the dress more structure. OPTIONAL Lining Fabric – If you are lining the inside of the bodice, you will need a light to medium-weight woven fabric. If your main fabric is not too thick, you could also use this for the lining. OPTIONAL Skirt Overlay Fabric (Children's Sizes) – The overlay sits over the main skirt and should be sheer.
