Fabric selection rules I use Soft drape supports romance, but it needs neckline stabilization Crisp fabric supports structure, but it can feel stiff on arms Thin light fabric needs lining, especially for light colors Best fabric matches by market position Fabric mistakes that cause returns Too much shine on low-grade satin Fabric too thin at neckline, causing collapse Heavy fabric that pulls the neckline down High shrinkage in rayon without pre-test How do I keep the A-line skirt balanced when the top is off-the-shoulder
