Recommended fabrics:

• Dress version: We recommend a fluid fabric, such as viscose, with a medium-heavy weight (220-350 g/m²) for a nice drape.
• Shirt version: Opt for a lightweight fabric (80-140 g/m²), such as viscose, silk or cotton.
• Skirt version: Opt for a medium to medium-heavyweight fabric (220-350 g/m²) in warp and weft, such as twill or denim.

Ideas for creating Sacha using upcycling:

• Shirt version: Use vintage sheets or tablecloths.
• Shirt collar: It is possible to use old placemats.
• Skirt version: Old floral curtains, old jeans, or even patchwork.
