| What it is | Dress fabric is cloth specified for a dress block. It is not a fibre name. | See the fashion fabric notes, not a synonym swap. |
| Feel | Slip dresses need fluid cloth. Shirt dresses need more stability. | Judge the peer on its own sample. |
| Mass | Mass follows silhouette. A ball gown and a sundress do not share one GSM band. | Do not copy a GSM from one family to the other. |
| Typical use | Day, work, and evening dresses. | Match the peer to its own end use. |
| Watch-out | Using leftover suiting because it is in stock. | The peer has its own limits. Read them. |
