1. Suggested Fabrics

   The Gypsum Skirt sewing pattern is designed for woven fabrics with beautiful movement and drape.

   For View A, choose fabrics with excellent fluidity such as rayon challis, Tencel™ twill, silk noil or other softly draping woven fabrics. These fabrics highlight the skirt's elegant shape and distinctive crescent pockets.

   View B is equally suited to drapey fabrics but also works beautifully in slightly more structured woven fabrics, including midweight linen, double gauze, cotton ikat and lightweight denim, giving the skirt a more casual everyday feel.
