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.
