Fabric
Lola is designed for lightweight non-stretch wovens with good drape. Suitable fabrics include lightweight chambray, voile, challis, double gauze, and lightweight crepe, through to sheers such as chiffon and georgette. For a dressy version, try silk crepe de chine, satin, or lace.
Notions
Thread.
Fabric requirements
You will need a maximum of 30cm/0.4 yards more than the fabric requirements for the base Lola pattern.
The fabric requirements allow for directional prints. Allow extra fabric if lengthening the garment, or matching large-scale prints.
This addition to Lola uses beginner-friendly techniques. The Lola pattern contains some techniques suitable for intermediate sewers, but confident beginners can sew it too. For an easier sewing experience, pick a more stable fabric.
Available in sizes 28 - 48.
Our model wears a size 34, in the medium bust fit style and the boat neck view. She also wears our free pattern, the Gemma tie belt in some photos. The sample is made in a sheer silk.
Forget-me-not patterns are designed for a height of 5’6” (168cm).
See our sizing page for our sizing charts and additional information.
Forget-me-not patterns are designed around an averagely curvy figure with a B-cup bust and a height of 5’6” (168cm).
If your body type differs from our measurements, do not worry! Depending on where the pattern is fitted, you may not need to worry about variations in figure. If needed, you are also able to grade between sizes to customise the fit to yourself. If in doubt, you should generally choose the size up from the size the chart indicates to ensure enough room in your garment. You'll find guidance in each individual pattern booklet as well.
We are working on expanding our sizing, which means all our new patterns go up to size 56, but some of our older patterns only go up to size 48 or 52.
Many of our patterns offer cup sizing in small, medium and full, but not all. Check the sizing section of each product page to see the size range and fit options offered.
