Best Dressmaking Fabrics For A Handmade Wardrobe

Velvet Fabric For Dressmaking

Velvet fabric is known for its luxury feel and weight. It’s the ideal fabric for a sexy Valentine’s Day dress, though you can also use it to sew an elegant blouse or skirt. One of the more colourful fabric varieties out there and great if you want an anti-static dress lining.

Tartan Dressmaking Fabrics

Tartan fabric for dressmaking weaves together different colours for a truly iconic fabric style. Synonymous with Scottish and Celtic culture, Tartan fabric is perfect for dresses that are made to stand out. The fabric is very durable thanks to how tightly woven it is and we stock plenty of great Tartan patterns that are sure to delight.

Linen Dress Fabrics

Linen fabric is popular in summer dressmaking as it’s a breathable fabric with durable qualities. As well as sewing linen fabric dresses, you can easily put together a pair of linen fabric trousers or shirts. Natural linen fabric has a great neutral colour to it as well, so it goes with just about anything. The only downside is that it’s not particularly drapey, so it’s not a fabric we recommend for a flowy dress.

Cotton Fabric For Dressmaking

Speaking of breathable fabric options, cotton fabric is a top choice for a summer dress project. It’s easily one of the most lightweight dressmaking fabrics as it adds hardly any weight to your body while on. This does give you a drapey dress too and offers versatility like no other. You can wear cotton throughout the year as it retains heat during the winter but gives your body room to breathe in the summer. It’s also one of the easiest fabric varieties to sew with, so it’s a fantastic choice for beginners.

Alternatively, you can get the best of both worlds with cotton linen fabric for dressmaking. This adds even more durability from linen while staying as light as cotton. You can buy many varieties of this fabric on our site in colours from white to pink!

Viscose Dressmaking Fabric

Viscose is another dressmaking fabric you can buy on our site with some great qualities. It’s a good alternative to cotton fabric as this fabric has more stretch to it and can almost give a jersey feel in some cases. Buy this fabric to make flexible dresses that move with the wearer and don’t feel too restricted. As with all fabric products in our range, you can buy viscose fabric by the metre, ensuring you always have enough for your project.
