What makes a fabric suitable for dresses?
Look for drape matched to silhouette, opacity planning, comfort for longer wear. Dress weights span sheer overlays to mid-weight day dresses. GSM and construction together explain silhouette support.

Test the intended colourway against light, seated and stretched where the garment will strain. Pale dyes reveal gaps denser colours hide.
How should I continue after reading about fabric for dresses?
Use the dresses brief on this page, then open a fabric page. Name the silhouette (slip, shirt-dress, volume, column) before fibre. Drape and opacity decide more than marketing labels.
