Selecting skirts fabric over 400 gsm
over 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
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
For skirts, the brief needs opacity. 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.

Questions
- Does over 400 GSM mean better skirts?
- No. Heavier is not better. It is only heavier.
