Recommended Fabrics

Rielle is designed for knit fabrics with excellent stretch and recovery.

Because of the fitted, negative ease design, it’s especially important to choose fabrics that stretch well and return to shape. Fabrics with poor recovery may stretch out and lose their structure over time.

Recommended fabrics include:

• Athletic Knit
• Scuba
• ITY
• Ribbed Knit (with strong recovery)
• Cotton Spandex

For best results, choose fabrics with at least 40% horizontal stretch and good recovery.

Fabrics with higher spandex content are ideal for maintaining a clean, fitted shape and ensuring your garment holds its structure wear after wear.

Fabric yardage will vary by size and fabric width. Please refer to the fabric requirement chart included in the pattern for exact measurements.
