There are so many different fabrics to choose from when looking to create your dream summer style. Some of the top trending fabrics of 2022 include:

• Denim and Chambray – classic comfort
• Jersey – sharp and clean look
• Linen – light and breathable

Denim and gingham are examples of fabric trends that never go out of fashion! They simply change how they are made fashionable. In 2022, chambray/denim dresses are a big up and coming trend with ladies enjoying the casual, lightweight style in a new way!

If you are looking for a lightweight summer dress, a linen or gingham fabric can be a great choice. They are lightweight, comfortable and can be a bold and bright as you personally require!

Factors to Consider for Dress Making

Everyone has been to a shop, purchased a dress and when worn, it can be scratchy and uncomfortable! If you have moved away from shop bought items and have decided to make your own summer dress, there are a few factors to take into consideration when buying your dressmaking fabrics:

• Fabric must be comfortable to wear – you aren’t going to be wearing something that is itchy or uncomfortable!
• Be sure the fabric is breathable
• Consider the fabrics weight – the weight of fabric will affect how it drops and flows. If you want something free flowing, long and lightweight, your choice of fabric must reflect this.
• Think about what the dress is for…. work, holiday, or casual wear? – If your dress is for work, you may consider a Jersey fabric to bring a clean, crisp look to your dress in comparison to a holiday feel that is lightweight, free flowing and bold in colour.
