Recommended fabrics:

• Opt for fabrics with good drape, such as cotton, cotton poplin, linen or twill, with a weight between 80 and 160 g/m².
• For a kimono-style version, you can opt for a gabardine or cotton with a weight between 220 and 250 g/m2.

Ideas for creating the dress using upcycling:

• This blouse or kimono dress style is particularly well-suited to reusing sheets, light curtains, vintage tablecloths, or even a duvet cover (which you can separate). However, opt for soft, lightweight fabrics to maintain the comfort of the garment.
• Floral patterns will make the kimono dress unique, while a lightweight, plain fabric will bring a timeless touch to your wardrobe.
