Barefoot Romper Size + Materials List

Suggested Fabrics

This romper can be made from both woven and knit fabrics, and different fabric can create quite a different look and feel to the romper.  Fabrics with more drape create a softer, more casual, flowing look to the romper, whereas something like a quilting cotton creates a more structured version. This romper can be made for all seasons depending on the fabrics used.

Note: The Gathered Yoke version has the tendency to look “poofy” through the middle if made with a stiffer fabric such as quilting cotton, which looks very cute on toddlers.  However, to avoid a “balloony” look for older children, a fabric with a little drape is recommended.

Wovens

Quilting cotton, cotton voile, cotton lawn, batiste, calico, poplin, rayon (viscose), chambray, double gauze, silk, lightweight linen, lightweight wool/merino, flannel, seersucker, homespun, crepe, lace. Flat Front version only: corduroy, lighter denims, drill.  

Knits

French terry, brushed poly, interlock, sweater, sweatshirt, cotton/poly blend, waffle knit, cotton lycra, rayon, merino blends, cotton jersey.  Knit Cuffs: Fabric with a good stretch recovery such as cotton lycra or ribbing.  You could use the same fabric as the body of your romper for a more relaxed fit and look.
