Note if purchasing copy shop printing: Some of the pattern pieces have been split (to fit on the A0 sheets) and will need to be joined together.
Suggested fabrics: Such a beautiful statement sleeve calls for a somewhat stiffer fabric, such as poplin, raw silk or nylon. The sturdy texture of cotton twill or denim would add structure to the clean, minimalist look. If you prefer to work with a lighter weight fabric, choose linen, tencel or double gauze. This will make Ashley more fluid and less structured. The designer does not recommend very thin or fluid fabrics as the effect of the sleeve will be lost.
