Suggested Fabrics:
Light to mid-weight 4-way stretch knit fabrics with at least 50% horizontal and vertical stretch, such as stretch cotton jersey, stretch bamboo jersey and stretch baby French terry. Good stretch recovery is advised so the neckband doesn’t stretch out, but too much recovery can make for a tighter fit.
Fabric Requirements:
Allow extra fabric if matching stripes or plaids or using border prints.
