The Hailey sewing pattern is a crop top that can be converted into a dress with several options to obtain different looks for all occasions. This sewing pattern is accessible to beginners and quick to make. Characterized by its halter neck, Hailey is the ideal basic to pair with all your outfits. For the dress version, you will have the possibility to opt for three different lengths: short, midi or long.
As for the type of material, you can use any stretchy fabric for the dress as long as it has goodrecovery. That is, when you stretch it and release it, the fabric returns to its original size. I donot recommend a fabric that is too loose such as viscose jersey.
Hailey must be made in a fabric with a stretch grather than 50%.
In order to know theelasticity percentage of your fabric, it is not enough to look at the elastane rate that composesit. Take your fabric in the most stretchy direction and put a pin (be careful not to place the pinat the edge of the fabric). Then, put another pin 25 centimeters from the first and stretch yourfabric. The number of extra centimeters corresponds to your elasticity rate. For example, if theswatch measures 25cm x 25cm, the calculation will be: 3 1.25-25 = 6.25
6.25 / 25 = 0.25
0.25 x 100 = 25%.
