■ The 18-32 size band has a wider bicep and deeper armhole.
■ TIP: for a round tummy in the higher sizes, add three inches to the hem.

■ Viscose, linen, chambray, double gauze, crepe de chine, light to medium weight rayon, Tencel, bamboo.
■ For beginners, try a cotton poplin or lawn for a crisp summer dress that’s easy to handle under the machine.
■ For a luxury look, why not try a lovely silk dupion, velvet or even a medium weight broderie anglaise.
