Women's Driftwood Blouse + Dress Size and Materials Chart

Suggested Fabric

This pattern requires fabric with a good amount of drape to avoid a stiff-looking garment.
Lightweight linen, gauze, muslin, voile, lawn, rayon, silk, seersucker, georgette are all suitable fabrics.  Flannel could be an option for a warmer weight garment.

If making the tie version, you could substitute the ties with cording, ribbon, lace, etc.

Other Supplies + Notions

  • Spool of coordinating thread
  • If NOT making homemade bias from the pattern piece:  2 yd (2m) of 1/2” (25mm) double fold bias binding for neckline (+ ties) - a little less than this for the elastic loop option
  • Elastic sleeve hem option: 3/8” (1cm) elastic- up to 26" (70cm)
  • Elastic loop + button closure option: A small amount of cord elastic and a button  You could use a hair tie for the elastic
  • Waist elastic for dress version: 3/4” (2cm) wide elastic - up to 43" (108cm)
  • Large safety pin for threading through your elastic
