About Dress Fabrics

Dresses are one-piece garments consisting of a bodice and a skirt. They originate from the 11th century when European women wore garments similar to men’s tunics but were generally looser and had hemlines reaching to at least below the knees. Today, as with shirts or pants, dresses come in a wide variety of materials and shapes and run the whole gamut of fashion in terms of context. The sheer variety of fabrics that they are made from can be overwhelming—that’s why we’ve carefully curated a collection of dress fabrics that are sure to inspire you.
