Fabric behavior I test first Drape : decides if the skirt flows or sticks out Opacity : decides lining need and cost Recovery : decides if neckline stays flat Shrinkage : decides if the armhole changes after wash My fabric-to-style matching map Common fabric mistakes I stop early Using light viscose with no lining in white or pastel Ignoring shading in satin across dye lots Not pre-checking shrinkage for rayon blends Choosing fabric that pills on repeat orders How do I size and fit a sleeveless A-line dress for fewer complaints across bust and armhole
