Necessary haberdashery :

- 25cm fusible webbing

- a spool of elastic thread (for smocked busts and sleeves)

- 6 x 15mm buttons (for blouse sleeves with religious pleats)

Recommended fabrics:

The Persepolis dress requires a fluid fabric to achieve its vaporous fall. Viscose, lyocell, tencel, satins or chiffons are the most suitable materials for your work. The fabric should be light (between 80 and 150gr/m²). Avoid fabrics with too much hold, which will tend to stiffen the final finish and prevent pretty gathers.
