+If you are making a default Brian to see how it fits we recommend a fabric such as **Calico (Muslin)** or a cheaper fabric that matches the drape and stretch of the fabric you intend to make a finalised version of Breanna with.
+
+You can use scraps of fabrics from your stash so don't worry about buying fabric specifically for Brian.
