Choose by feel.
Confirm by sample.
A fabric name is a starting point, not a full specification. Bring the desired look and feel; review the actual material before committing to the garment.
| Direction | What it changes | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Jersey & rib | Knit options for casual dresses and flexible silhouettes. | Check recovery, neckline stability and coverage. |
| Poplin & drapey wovens | Compare a crisper shape with a softer, more fluid one. | Review a swatch at the intended skirt volume and length. |
| Satin & lining | Surface sheen and inner construction work together. | Approve opacity, seam appearance and lining attachment in the sample. |
Confirm composition, weight, color, care and any required supporting documents as part of your material brief.

Before you send
the brief.
Should I choose the fabric before finalizing the pattern?
Choose a fabric direction early. A change from crisp poplin to fluid viscose or from woven to knit can change the required fit and construction. Confirm the final base through sampling.
What should I send for a printed dress?
Include a repeat or placement file, intended print size, color references and the dress sketch. Ask for a strike-off on the intended base before approving the print.
How are pricing and bulk production timing confirmed?
Pricing and bulk production timing are confirmed in your order-specific quote after reviewing the style, fabric availability, decoration and quantity.
Can I discuss a design without a finished tech pack?
Yes. Send a sketch or reference image with the measurements and details you already know. Identify what is still undecided so the next sample-development steps can be discussed.
