Recommended Fabrics: You can use nearly any light or medium weight woven fabric for this dress. However, your fabric choice will be critical in how the garments fits and moves so please choose with the end look you are wanting in mind. Recommended fabrics include:

  • A light to mid weight woven such as silk, rayon, silk crepe, crepe de chine or silk satin will drape and swish about you as you move more.
  • A woven with structure such as linen, poly cotton, or quilting cotton won't drape or follow the contours of the body as much, so it will give a boxier look. A garment with this type of fabric won't drape much and will stick out more.
  • A woven heavyweight fabric such as denim.
  • Knit fabric is also a good choice.

Sizes: 1-10 & Women’s Curvy sizes 6C-15C.
