When dresses need a knit
Dresses can be cut from more than one construction. This note is only about starting with a knit.

Why start here
For dresses, the brief needs comfort for longer wear. A useful hand note is predictable opacity.
A knit is the right first filter when fluid or controlled drape matters for the dress.
When to switch
If the dress needs the other construction, start a separate marketplace search. Mixing knit and the alternative in one grid makes GSM meaningless.
Questions
- Is a knit required for dresses?
- No. It is a starting constraint. comfort for longer wear can still rule it out.
