Suggested Fabrics:
Tolve works best in a mid weight linen, cotton or viscose to hold it's shape. Tolve is not suitable for ultra lightweight fabrics such as organza or chiffon, but could be made up in a lighter weight fabric if a drapier look is desired.
Note:
If you are particularly tall or like a custom hem length, you can extend the hem to your desired length. You can always reduce the hem back down to the original length if needed.
