Cotton dress fabrics represent the group of natural textiles intended for creating a dress. Coming in different weave types, these fabrics are often lightweight and thin, which makes them a go-to option for a summer dress. The heavier options can be styled into warmer outfits.

The stage of fabric selecting is one of the most captivating and important ones in dressmaking, as it largely affects the entire concept of your dress. Colourway, pattern type, the way it drapes and looks against your skin — there are many factors to assess before making the final decision.
