Dress-making simulator Dressmaker offers eight different kinds of fabrics to use, and you need to be judicious about how to use them. Using them randomly will result in inferior results, and you’ll also fail quest objectives.

In this guide, I will briefly explain the best use-case scenarios for every fabric type in the game.
Best occasion for every fabric type in Dressmaker
Before I deep dive into the best choices, this guide considers the nine basic types. You can modify your results when you finish sewing a cloth.
| Cloth Type | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Burlap | Burlap is best used to make and sell clothes when you’re short of coins since they’re the cheapest option. However, they’re also suitable for occasional commissions when you have to make clothes that are uncomfortable. |
| Cotton | Cotton is best used for Simple dresses. However, the more expensive variants can also fulfil requirements for Elegant clothes. |
| Lace | Lace is a type meant to be used for extremely specific requirements. You’ll need them for dresses that should be both Formal and Elegant. Dresses for Weddings typically fall in this category. |
| Linen | Linen dresses are not only elegant, but they fit under several tags: Casual, Cool, Workwear. You can also find certain Patterned choices. |
| Sequin | Sequin is perfect for dresses with rare tags like Risqué and Shimmering (due to their glittering textures). They’re also perfect for occasions that need Elaborate and Glamour tags. |
| Silk | One of the more expensive dress types, Silk can fill different tags like Elegant, Formal, Simple, and Eveningwear (depends on the color). |
| Velvet | Velvet works in the same way as Sequin, but they look more classy (and cost more). Here are some of the best tags: Elegant, Formal, Glamour, Simple, Romantic, Warm, Cute, Eveningwear. |
| Wool | Wool is great for Patterned dresses, and they’re not too expensive. However, I haven’t found much use for this specific fabric type. |
