With Christmas fast approaching many of us have started thinking about outfits for all the various social occasions we have scheduled in to celebrate the festivities. Whether it's your work night out, a lunch with your family or a new Christmas day frock then now's the time to start looking at patterns and Dress Fabrics in order make your outfit perfect.
The majority of us have at least one reason to wear a nice dress over Christmas, the nice thing about looking for dress fabrics is that the choice and varieties are endless. There is nothing worse than turning up for your work night out only to find a colleague has the same dress on as you. When you make your own clothes you'll always have the peace of mind that nobody else will have anything similar. It's also important when looking at dress fabrics to choose a style, texture and weight which suits both your pattern and body shape. For instance, here at Calico Laine we have some new stunning silky satin fabrics with large floral designs, these are perfect for loose fitting dresses which skim over the parts which need flattering!!
