If you’re a newbie to fabric selection for tailor-made clothes, first, search on the internet for some necessary information such as fabric classification, matching material with the body, suitable color or pattern to appearance, etc. 

* Material: Refer appropriate materials with your desired clothes. For example, with a suit, you’d better choose outside materials that are wrinkle-limited and retain warmth and their structure well such as wool, cashmere, velvet, etc. For fabric-lined inside you can freely choose from silk, satin, etc that are soft and comfortable. With casual clothes in summer, fabrics that are breathable and lightweight like linen, cotton, satin or silk, etc would be preferred choices. Whereas, to make a gorgeous cocktail or wedding dress, added materials such as chiffon, organza, crepe, etc is lovely selections to any lady. If you’re worried about the quality of the fabrics in-store, you can refer several tips for testing their texture directly before deciding to choose these materials or not.

Wearing the right colors will help you shine, make you confident and look fantastic. Thus you should determine colors that go well with your skin tone.
