  Choose the right Clothing Fabric for your garments

  It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the number and types of fabrics on display, but it will simplify your fabric selection time if you consider these factors when starting your fabric survey:

  1. Consider fabric weight
  The weight of a fabric is measured in GSM (grams per square meter), which defines the weight or weight of the fabric. Don't worry, you don't have to weigh the fabric at the store. Measuring fabric weight is a method of measuring the thickness of a material and can differentiate between light, medium or heavy fabrics.

  2. Check fabric drape
  Drapability determines how the fabric flows. In other words, stiff fabrics have less drape and fluid fabrics have more drape. Simple! But be careful with this word. Wrinkles are often confused with weight, but they are two different factors that affect the appearance of a garment.

  3. Test the fabric stretch
  Stretch is how much your fabric stretches. Fabrics have different elasticity (the ability of textile fibers to "bounce" when stretched). When you choose a fabric that has stretch, you have to make sure it fits your pattern, as it can change how the final product fits the body.
