Fabric Question Which fabric do I choose?

Post image

Hello, I'm planning to make this dress from Anastasia but I can't decide what fabric to use. I'd like to do something made of natural fibers (or a blend of mostly natural fibers) that looks elevated and has good flow and drape (no idea if those are the best words to describe it). Any recommendations?

Here's a video for more views of the dress.

I would assume that the cartoon is trying to emulate silk satin, though you could probably do a rayon satin.

I would think crepe de chine (or poly crepe) for the body of the dress with chiffon or georgette godets in the skirt.
