I still remember one early order where I pushed a stiff fabric for a soft A-line look
Fabric behavior that matters more than the fabric name Drape: decides if the sleeve hangs in a clean cone Weight: decides if the flare has shape or just droops Recovery: decides if elbow area bags out after wear Surface: decides if it photographs expensive Fabric picks by season and story Spring: viscose challis, crepe, light poplin Summer: rayon blends, cotton voile with lining strategy Fall: heavier crepe, brushed woven blends Holiday: satin, jacquard, structured crepe Fabric risk list I call out early thin jersey: sleeve edge rolls and looks messy cheap satin: shines in patches and shows needle marks loose weave: sleeve hem waves and twists after wash heavy twill: sleeve swings stiff and feels bulky How do I pattern and construct a bell sleeve to prevent twisting, waviness, and seam stress
