Fabric Sources for the Greta Dress
FABRIC SOURCES FOR MAKING YOUR GRETA
Greetings my sew’ist friends. I hope you are well and happy today.
This is a very short – and sweet – blog post with link details of fabric sources for making your own Greta Dress.
The Greta Dress can be made in a variety of knit fabrics that have the correct stretch ratio.
Choose from Lurex, Metallic Jersey, Stretch Velvets, Embossed Stretch Velvets – anything that has a knit base.
Recommendations are as follows : approx weight of 200gsm – are BEST with at least 50 % stretch across and 20% stretch going down the fabric.
– Jersey Weight – Fibre content approx to = Polyester 80%, Lurex 15% Spandex 5% (approx).
I hope that this helps you find your perfect fabric for your Greta Dress.
And if you have a link for the perfect fabric THAT you found for your own Greta Dress – and would like to share it – please let me know.
Cheerio my friends.

The shop I was looking at on Etsy did not deliver to Canada.
So I went on AliExpress therefore I could not test because of the delays in shipping.
