Typical figures for an adult size M. The pattern tier is set from the real piece count when you order.

Cut into rompers, it holds a clean A-line or shift shape without looking stiff.

Cut short, a medium-weight cloth holds a neat, even hem that stays put.

It is neither warm nor cool, so it works across most of the year.

Care is simple: a machine wash at 30 to 40 °C.

It barely creases, dries fast and keeps its color, but it holds odour and can pill on brushed surfaces.

Polyester is a synthetic fibre made from petroleum or, more and more, from recycled bottles. It can be engineered to imitate silk, wool or cotton, and to wick, stretch or shed water.

Recycled polyester is widely available and certified under recycling standards; ask the mill for the certificate, not only the claim.

It is itself the usual lining cloth; a polyester piece is lined only when it is sheer or when the face would cling.

A microtex needle and polyester thread; it resists pressing, so seams are set with heat and a clapper.

It is dyed with disperse dyes at high heat or printed by sublimation, so bright colors stay fast.

It has a soft sheen that shows the folds without glare.
