Fabric.

Due to the nature of the garment a weighty fabric is needed. One that when sewn will hold the shape of the blocks. As our colour palette is white as so not to take attention from the blocks we have decided cotton or a cotton mix would be best. For example after fabric researching we found a 98% cotton and 2% Lycra consistency. It felt hard wearing and exactly what we were looking for. As a back up plan if the blocks do not stay after being pressed then we will invest in some buckram. This is used in all types of clothing as a stiffener and so this would help achieve our expected silhouette.
