MAIN FABRIC
LINING
HOOK & EYE (no mandatory)
___________
This short asymmetric bolero is designed to balance elegance and structure, with clean, modern lines that highlight the asymmetric front and the volume of the sleeves. Choosing the right fabric will define the final look — from fluid and refined to architectural and jacket-like.
Woven fabrics
Select woven fabrics according to the desired effect. The bolero works best with fabrics that offer either a beautiful drape or enough body to hold its shape, without excessive stiffness.
*Fluid & Elegant
Ideal for a soft, flowing silhouette with movement and a refined finish.
Silk (dupioni, habotai, silk satin)
Viscose / rayon
Tencel / Lyocell
Cupro (Bemberg)
Lightweight satin or crepe (polyester or viscose)
These fabrics emphasize the asymmetric front and the soft volume of the sleeves.
*Structured & Jacket-Like
Perfect for a more architectural bolero with defined lines and shape retention.
These fabrics may add unwanted bulk or distort the clean lines of the design.
Interfacing
Use a lightweight woven fusible interfacing to support the neckline and front edges while maintaining flexibility.
Fluid fabrics: very lightweight woven fusible or silk organza
Wool and wool blends: light to medium woven fusible (avoid stiff interfacings)
Cotton and linen: lightweight woven fusible
Avoid heavy or non-woven interfacings.
Always test the interfacing on a fabric scrap before fusing.
Lining
The bolero can be sewn without lining, especially with fluid fabrics
For wool blends, you may leave it unlined for a modern look or add a light lining (viscose or cupro) for comfort and structure
Sewing your own garment means you are the creator of your piece — feel free to experiment with fabrics not mentioned here. Exploring different materials can lead to beautiful and unique results.
This list is provided as a guideline — not all suitable fabrics are listed.

J’adore ce patron, quelque soit le tissu choisi vous obtenez un résultat totalement différent il peut être chic ou rock. Il n’a aucune difficulté particulière et les explications sont très claires. Je vais certainement m’en coudre d’autres 😊😊

I loved making this jacket for the 2025 Goodwood Revival. It looked great! Adelaide was so quick to help me in a ‘blonde’ moment I had when making it, so it did get done in time, luckily! Thanks so much.
