🧵 Fabric Recommendations
Light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as:
• Linen blends
• Cotton poplin
• Light denim or chambray
• Viscose/rayon
• Soft twill
📐 Fabric Requirements
Culottes (long version):
* Size S: 150 × 100 cm (59" × 40")
* Size 2XL: 150 × 130 cm (59" × 52")
Shorts require less fabric than culottes.
As always, it's impossible to give fabric amounts for every fabric type and every size. For clarity, I provide yardage for both the smallest and largest sizes, based on a suitable fabric width. To stay on the safe side, you may follow the largest cutting layout for any other size.

Otherwise, do it yourself:
- stretch a flat bed-sheet on a table or floor;
