Best Fabrics For Dressmaking - What Do You Recommend?

Let’s build a crowd-sourced guide! Share your favorite fabrics for dresses - what works best for structure, drape, comfort, etc. Bonus points if you’ve got photos of dresses you've made in them.

My absolute favourite fabric for dresses that are super wearable is a viscose poplin - it's easier to work with than a lot of other types of viscose that are quite fine but still has some fluidity meaning you get a dress that is comfortable to wear. 

I have a YouTube video with tips on sewing with viscose

It's a great subject to discuss ! I've used ponte for a cardigan, and a dress would be nice I think, it's both comfortable and elegant. But too hot for summer time probably...

Viscose poplin sounds interesting !

Ponte Roma is a great fabric for beginners who want to start sewing with jersey as it's super stable and easy to work with. But yes better for cooler weather
