Selecting skirts fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 GSM is a planning band for skirts. 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 skirts, the brief needs comfortable waist and movement behaviour. A useful hand note is stable opacity.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Crepes, cottons, wools, linens and selected knits depending on volume vs column silhouettes.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
