The Sailaway dress is designed to work with light to medium weight woven fabrics like rayon and viscose (crepe, voile, poplin, twill, challis), cotton (lawn, voile, poplin, crinkle cotton, shirting), linen (washed linen, linen noil) and tencel twill. The choice of fabric will impact the final look of the dress: fabrics like rayon will look more fluid and have more drape and fabrics like cotton will give more structure and volume.
