Supplies

Fabric:

Your fabric needs to be a stretch/knit fabric; fabric such as jersey, silk/satin with elastine, silk jersey with elastine, double brushed poly, rayon spandex, bamboo spandex, modal, cotton lycra, ponte, poly rayon spandex will all work.
Your fabric will need to have at least 20 - 30% stretch to get the fit as it is designed. To check how much stretch your fabric has, take a piece of fabric, and pull along the stretch, i.e., A 2-inch piece of fabric (unstretched) should be able to stretch to 2.4 - 2.6 inches.
The stretch recovery of your fabric is just as important as the stretch percentage. This will ensure your garment maintains its shape and fit for as long as possible and not become baggy. To test the stretch recovery (elasticity), simply check that when you stretch your piece of fabric, it returns to its original size.
A fabric with 4-way stretch (stretches in all directions) will give more drape than a 2-way stretch (only stretches in one direction).
Generally, knit/stretch fabrics are heavier than wovens. You may find you need to hem your garment slightly higher if it stretches out in length while wearing it.
