Best Fabrics for the Lily Dolman

To create a Lily Dolman, we suggest to use medium weight knit fabrics with at least 30% stretch like: cotton lycra, interlock, french terry, velvet, sweater knit or sponge. You can also use a more light weight knit fabric, 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.

For the bands you can choose to use either ribbing or use the same fabric as the sweater (main fabric). The Lily Dolman 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.

Pink Fab For You Patterns kids size chart

The Lily  Dolman is designed using the Fab For You Patterns pink size chart, covering sizes from newborn (50) to 14 years (164). To ensure the perfect fit, always measure your child and use their trunk and inseam measurements. Blend sizes if needed to match their proportions and achieve the best result.
