Selecting blouses fabric over 400 gsm
over 400 GSM is a planning band for blouses. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
For blouses, the brief needs opacity planning. A useful hand note is soft or fluid hand.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Soft cottons, silks, chiffons, georgettes, viscose and fine knits appear frequently.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
