When is it appropriate to choose the specific fabric?
When choosing a fabric for your dress some factors are important to consider.
Purpose
One of the first questions you need to answer is: What is the reason you need the dress? Are you going to be a bride or will you have a prom, and maybe the dress is for a special occasion? The purpose for which your dress will be designed helps a lot to choose the right fabrics.
Design
The design of the dress is also important when choosing fabrics. When the design of your dress is more complex, it is advisable to choose softer and thinner fabrics. If you want it with draperies or ruffles, silk chiffon or crêpe fabrics are an extremely good choice.
Body
It is important to match the fabrics with your figure. What matters here is the type of female body, height, and shape. The texture of the selected fabric, colors, as well as whether there are embroidery, veils, or other additional elements are important.
