What fabric are people using for toiles?

So I normally don't practice but after a disaster with a recent pattern sizing I want to have a practice run on my next pattern (has a zip, I'm nervous plus it's fitted). What fabric are people using for toiles?

Hi Karen, if you can - use something that is similar weight to the fabric you want to use for your final garment. You can buy calico fabric in different weights or if you have some cheap fabric, old duvet covers also work well for making toiles
