RECOMMENDED FABRICS:
The Orchards Dress is designed for lightweight woven fabrics (3 to 5 oz/yd). You may use any fibre, keeping in mind that each will produce different draping effects. Choose a plainwoven cotton for a picnic dress, or linen for a more rustic look, perfect for a day of apple picking and holding fruit in the ample fabric of the skirt.
