white self portrait dress self-portrait - Flower Lace Midi lengthening hem with sky Embellished appliquéd tulle and satin

A large portion of our collection lives between $2,500$3,500 This is where many of our gowns fall

Fabric behavior rules I follow If the fabric is too soft, the placket waves and the collar collapses If the fabric is too stiff, the skirt stands and looks heavy If the fabric has low recovery, the elbow and waist bag out fast Recommended fabric ranges by price tier Shrinkage and color are not small details Poplin and twill can shrink and twist if the finishing is not stable Dark colors in cotton can fade faster if dye and wash are not controlled Denim needs shade control across lots, or reorders look different What are the biggest fit and construction risks, and how do I control them

I appreciate that the bodice is fitted just enough to provide shape without being tight
