How to Choose the Right Fabric For
Better Dress Up
Choosing the right kind of fabric that goes with your dress or sew project is a tough nut to
crack. But there are three points through which you can ensure the best suitable fabric for
your next project.
Drape
This point will help in ensuring the flow of material. Flowy drapes would float while stiff
material would stick to your body.
Fabric Weight
GSM is the unit to measure the weight of fabric. You can use this one to ensure the density
of material. This helps us in differentiating light-weight, average weight and heavy weight
fabric.
Fabric stretch
Prior picking fabric, ensure its stretch as flexible stretchy fabric could affect the final fitting of
dress. So you should check whether the stretch is as per your pattern and design.
