Swimwear
Swim-specific fabrics are ideal for this pattern. Look out for fabrics that stretch in both directions etc….
Beachskirt
A light cotton is the obvious choice if you want to wear this as a beach skirt.
Thinking outside the pattern pack:
This pattern would lend itself to a stunning modification as a twist-front evening dress.
You could work with denim, heavy cotton, or even satin for a workwear or evening variation on the skirt.
