Choosing the right fabric is one of the most important steps in creating a perfect outfit. At Callmytailor, we help customers select fabrics every day—whether it’s for custom stitching, alterations, home furnishings, or premium bespoke outfits.
To make fabric selection easier for you, our experts have created a clear and simple guide you can follow anytime.

1. Start With Your Purpose

Different occasions require different fabrics. At Callmytailor, we always start by asking: “Where will you wear this?”

• Daily Wear: Cotton, rayon, linen

• Office Wear: Blended fabrics, terry rayon, soft cotton

• Party Wear: Silk, satin, velvet, organza

• Ethnic Wear: Brocade, banarasi silk, georgette

• Activewear: Lycra, jersey

We help you match the fabric to your occasion and style.

2. Understand Fabric Weight & Drape

Fabric weight affects the shape and flow of your outfit.

• Lightweight: Chiffon, georgette — perfect for dresses & flowy silhouettes

• Medium-weight: Cotton, linen — ideal for shirts, kurtas, and casual wear

• Heavy-weight: Brocade, denim, velvet — good for structured garments

At Callmytailor, we always drape the fabric over the shoulder during selection so you can visualize the final look.

3. Choose Fabric Based on Season

Comfort starts with choosing weather-friendly materials:

• Summer: Cotton, mulmul, linen

• Winter: Wool, tweed, velvet

• All-season: Polycotton, denim, silk blends

Our team helps you pick fabrics that keep you stylish and comfortable year-round.

4. Focus on Breathability

Breathability affects your comfort throughout the day.

• Highly breathable: Cotton, linen

• Medium: Rayon, viscose

• Low: Polyester, nylon

If you live in a hot region or sweat easily, our experts at Callmytailor recommend breathable fabrics first.

5. Check Fabric Quality

We always encourage customers to feel and inspect the fabric. High-quality material has:

• Even weave

• Smooth finishing

• Strong threads

• Consistent color

• Good stretch recovery

At Callmytailor, we only source and recommend fabrics that pass our quality checks.

6. Understand Fabric Maintenance

Some fabrics are easy to wash; others need special handling.

• Easy care: Cotton, polyester blends

• Moderate care: Rayon, viscose

• Special care: Silk, wool, satin (often need dry-cleaning)

When you choose a fabric through us, we also guide you on how to maintain it for long-lasting results.

7. Match Fabric With Your Design

The right design needs the right fabric. For example:

• Suits & Blazers: Wool, terry rayon

• Lehengas: Silk, velvet, brocade

• Shirts & Kurtas: Cotton, linen

• Gowns & Dresses: Georgette, crepe

Our designers at Callmytailor recommend the most suitable fabric for your selected pattern.

8. Test for Color Fastness

Good fabrics shouldn’t bleed color. We do a quick test by rubbing a damp white cloth on a corner—if it stains, we avoid it.

9. Take Expert Tailor Advice

No one understands fabric behavior better than a tailor.
At Callmytailor, we consider:

• Stitching ease

• Shrinkage rate

• How the fabric reacts to ironing

• How it falls after cutting

• How long it will last

This helps us guide you toward the best fabric for your body type and outfit style.

10. Prioritize Comfort

Finally, the best fabric is the one you feel comfortable wearing. Style matters, but comfort matters more.
