In previous blogs about our ranges of Dressmaking Fabrics that we stock here at Calico Laine, we have spoken about how they can be used in your Dressmaking for different types of garments. In today's blog, I thought it would be nice to take a look at a one particular garment and take a look atthe sorts of Dressmaking Fabrics that can be used to create it. One type of garment that we get asked about a lot is Dresses. There really is such as huge choice of Dressmaking Fabrics here at Calico Laine, it can be difficult to know which one is best for your requirements! As we are in the colder months, I thought it would be best to have a look at some of the heavier Dressmaking Fabrics that are suitable for creating a warm winter dress! One of the first Dressmaking Fabrics I would like to recommend is the Double Knit Jersey, which is a fabulous winter weight Dressmaking Fabric with stretch that is available in a beautiful range of colours for you to choose from. In general as a Lining material, we would suggest our Dress Lining Dressmaking Fabric, which is 100% polyester and is anti-static. There are many different looks that can be achieved using our Dressmaking Fabrics, so why not try something different this winter season! One style of dress that really does look stunning made from the Double Knit Jersey Dressmaking Fabric is a winter maxi dress. This is not only a comfortable option for the colder months, it is still highly fashionable and a classic look that will last!
