Choosing a fabric for a dress

7th January 2014 at 02:02

Hi everybody! I'm about to start a new project and I'm having a lot of difficulty choosing a fabric to use. I'm creating a dress similar to the black Giorgio Armani dress from The Ugly Truth (follow the link below for a picture). Any suggestions on what type of fabric its made of or an alternative fabric that will create a similar result?

If you want to see how the fabric moves, go in about 20 seconds : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRUYsVDWhM0

Thanks in advance for all your help!

It is probably made from a rayon knit, which is a synthetic fabric made from chemically-treated bamboo. You could use any cotton jersey knit, but I imagine something with 4-way stretch would be the best.
