① Measurements
Size
Drafted by the FreeSewing engine — a proper, sewable block. Wearing ease and seam allowance are already included.
② Fabric & layout
Drafting…
Suggested fabric
Rayon/viscose challis · Crepe · Lightweight soft linen · Cotton-rayon lawn
120–200 gsm (3.5–5.9 oz/yd²)
soft and drapey
A dramatic full circle needs fluid drape so the hem ripples instead of standing out like a bell, so choose a soft woven and let the bias hang 24 hours before hemming.
Avoid: stiff quilting cotton, canvas, heavy bottomweights
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut

Atelier notes
- 01Pick your size; the draft already includes wearing ease.
- 02Sew a quick calico toile first — these are statement shapes, so check the fit and drape before cutting your fabric.
- 03Watch the grainline and stay-stitch any deep curves before they stretch.
