Astro Claret stretch bengaline is a tightly woven, lightweight option for making jumpsuits, rompers, and other on-trend fashion separates.  Toss on a 3/4 length sweater coat with a belted waist you’ve constructed from Astro Alpine (VF245-41) to complete the look.  

The stretch on this fabric runs along the grain, not across the grain.  Lay your pattern pieces across the grain so the stretch will wrap around you when you wear the garment. Check out our image for "Best Plaid Sewing Hack" to see how you would layout your pattern pieces across the grain, and purchase the amount of fabric needed based on this layout.
