Light to medium weight woven, non-stretch (e.g., linen, cotton, silk blends)
The aesthetic is minimalist, yet classic and depending on fabric choices Melba can go wherever you like. So far I’ve made a pregnancy dress (not for me),a crinkle rayon lounge dress that I just wore for about 48 hours during a grandchildren weekend, and a linen dress.
The mitred corners are an elevated gamechanger and the tutorials and directions finally taught me how to do them.
