Recommended Fabrics for a Little Black Straight Dress

Dress wool deserves the most attention. When I say wool, I mean a group of dress fabrics that contain mostly wool fibers. In most cases, dress wool may contain a small amount of artificial and synthetic additives that will not allow the fabric to shrink much after washing. True, today you can also find such wool in which there is no wool.

Tight knitwear with low stretch is also well suited. Attention! it just needs to stretch a little!

It is also worth noting that tailoring of the “little black dress” is also possible from the range of silk fabrics.

Silk jacquard will look good. Of course, this silk can be artificial. In any case, a blended fabric with a small percentage of synthetic fibers will be the most practical.

And experienced tailors can take velvet or velvet on chiffon for sewing this dress.

In this case, all parts must have the same pile direction and the pile must be directed upwards. Otherwise, the dress will rise when worn under a coat.

Modeling for a velvet dress can be minimal, for example, to cut a yoke from a different fabric.
