Suggested fabrics: The fabric selection determines the look of your skirt. You could go for fabric with a fluid drape in a floral print, such as a crepe in viscose, wool or silk. The result will be a skirt that falls gently around the lower part of the body, giving it a ripple effect. If you go for a stiffer fabric, such as cotton, the skirt will be more structured and have additional volume. The result will be a skirt that has a little more body of its own. The best option for straight body shapes is a stiff fabric, while women with more curves look loveliest in fabric with a fluid drape.
