Why I Chose This Fabric
For this super lightweight cocktail dress I wanted a fabric that was soft and flowy, that had enough structure to show the sleeve and skirt flounces without being overly heavy or stiff. I decided to go with this lightweight cotton from Italy’s (Pierre Cardin, purchased from Mood) and I was really happy with how it turned out!
It’s got a soft hand and lended itself beautifully to this design. I also love a good animal print and floral moment, and this print was the best of both worlds.
Fellow creators, how do you pick a fabric?
