Fabric choice can either help or hinder this.&nbsp; Consider how the garment will be worn, what someone will be doing in the garment, what type of wear will the garment be getting?&nbsp; A garment that is worn while landscaping will generally be made out of very different fabric then a garment that might be worn to a fancy dinner or evening out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you find you are unsure of what fabric to choose, reference garments that serve a similar purpose or function.&nbsp; If you can touch, feel, or even try on these garments.&nbsp; If you can\u2019t access the garments in person, have a look at images online.&nbsp; How does the garment look?&nbsp; How is the person moving in the garment, and what type of description is provided about the fabric that the garment is made out of?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading251_f13b30-11,
