MAIN FABRIC – Stretchy fabric (minimum 20% stretch)
___________
This dress features asymmetrical draping, a fitted skirt, and a fluid overlay. The fabric must have good stretch and excellent drape to follow the body and allow the drapes to fall correctly.
Best choices
These fabrics give the best result and are strongly recommended.
Viscose jersey / rayon jersey Soft, fluid, and very comfortable. Drapes beautifully and highlights the asymmetrical folds without adding bulk.
Tencel / modal jersey Extremely smooth with a luxurious drape. Slightly heavier than viscose jersey, ideal for a polished and elegant version.
Bamboo jersey Very soft, breathable, and fluid. Works well for both everyday and dressy versions.
Dressy options
For an evening or special-occasion dress.
Silk jersey Luxurious drape and movement. Perfect for highlighting the design’s sculptural lines.
Fine stretch velvet (with good drape) Adds depth and elegance. Choose a lightweight velvet with excellent stretch.
Stretch requirements
Minimum stretch: 20% (preferably with good recovery)
Stretch can be two-way or four-way, but four-way stretch offers the best comfort and fit.
Fabric should be fluid, not stiff.
Fabrics to avoid
Stable knits with little or no stretch
Thick sweater knits
Ponte, scuba, or double knit
Heavy interlock
Woven fabrics (even with elastane)
These fabrics prevent proper draping and distort the intended silhouette.
Fabric weight guideline
Recommended weight: approximately 180–260 g/m²
Lighter jerseys give a softer, more fluid look.
Slightly heavier jerseys provide more structure while maintaining drape.
Sewing your own garment means you are the creator of your piece — feel free to experiment with fabrics not mentioned here, and the result can be beautiful. Don’t hesitate to explore and try different options.
This list is provided as a guideline — not all suitable fabrics are listed.
_________
We indicate, as a reference, the necessary quantity for a fabric 150CM wide /59” with a directional print/nap for a size XXXL:
3.25 meters / 128 inches
The amount of fabric needed for your pattern depends on the pattern size, the width and design of the fabric you plan to use.
_________
We offer a free service to assist with placing pattern pieces on the fabric to minimize waste.
To provide us with the necessary information, send us a message or contact us through the chat.
Kindly include the width of your fabric, specify whether the print is directional or non-directional, the size and the name of the pattern.
We will provide you with an image that illustrates the optimal placement of pattern pieces on the fabric to make the most efficient use of the material.
