These would include fabrics like wool suiting, cotton canvas, denim and other twill weave cottons, linen, and flannel. If you choose a polyester or poly blend fabric, make sure to test that your fabric will hold a pressed pleated before cutting and sewing your final garment. Thinner fabrics or fabrics with more drape can work as well; however, these fabrics can be more difficult to sew, may be more sheer, and may not hold a pressed pleat. Keep this in mind when choosing your fabric. For thinner fabrics, consider silk, satin, quilting cotton, and seersucker.
