Here are the materials you’ll need:
1.7-2.15 m (1.85-2.35 yds) light-medium weight woven fabric
1.7-2.15 m (1.85-2.35 yds) lining fabric
0.5 m (0.6 yds) interfacing for a partially interfaced dress, or 1.7-2.15 m (1.85-2.35 yds) for a fully interfaced dress
Invisible zipper 56-60 cm (22”-24”) long
Zipper machine foot for invisible zipper
matching thread
glasshead pins
scissors
measurement tape
Chantelle pattern

I recommend using a woven medium-weight fabric that holds its shape and doesn’t stretch, and isn’t see-through. This is something like a suiting fabric, chenille twee, boucle tweed, and poplin. For the lining, use something like a viscose or a poly fabric.
