Selecting dresses fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 GSM is a planning band for dresses. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
Heavier apparel and lighter work layers. Heat retention rises with the mass.
For dresses, the brief needs comfort for longer wear. A useful hand note is agreeable hand.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Crepes, chiffons, georgettes, soft cottons, linens and selected knits appear often — each answers a different dress architecture.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
