Suggested material for the Xolani Peplum and Dress

To create a Xolani Peplum 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. We don’t recommend the use of light weight fabric for the bodice when making the dress length. The weight of the skirt will pull down the top, which influences the fit of the top.

For the bands you can choose to use either ribbing or use the same fabric as the dress (main fabric). The Xolani Peplum 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.
