Fabric recommendations
Choose a light weight or medium weight non-stretch fabric. You can choose a low-drape fabric, for example a light cotton or linen, or opt for a more drapey fabric, such as a medium weight rayon challis or similar. Use a pre-made cord for the spaghetti shoulder straps, or sew them from your main fabric.
