Fabric behavior I check before sampling stretch and recovery at elbow friction against skin and base layer tops shrinkage after wash and steam pilling risk for knits colorfastness in dark fall colors Best fabric + style matches I use often Common mistakes I stop early using loose sweater knit with no stabilizer at neckline using heavy denim with a very wide skirt sweep skipping lining in light colors with flash photography ignoring shrinkage on viscose when sleeves must stay long How do neckline, waist placement, and skirt sweep change the look of a long-sleeve A-line dress
