Suggested material for the Calyra Shirt and Dress
To create a Calyra Shirt and Dress, we suggest to use medium weight knit fabrics with at least 30% stretch like: cotton lycra, jersey, interlock or french terry. You can also use a more light weight knit fabric like cotton spandex, but keep in mind that you might need to size down if you choose to use a thinner fabric or a fabric type with more stretch than recommended. Please keep in mind to use similar fabrics for the various colorblocks to create a nice garment. Using fabrics with different characteristics regarding stretch and weight can cause an imperfect outcome.
For the neckband you can choose to use either ribbing or use the same fabric as the dress (main fabric). The Calyra Shirt and Dress comes with pattern pieces for the different types of fabrics, but you might need to adjust depending on the amount of stretch and recovery if you choose a different type of fabric for the bands.
