Dresses come in different materials for you to choose from. The material you choose should fit your ideal design specification. Nonetheless, you should go for a dress that is comfortable to wear, soft or silky against the skin and have a good drape. If you want a dress to wear this summer, go for a breathable fabric. It is good to know that the cost of a dress is determined largely by the type of material used. For instance, silk textile remains to be more expensive than cotton or polyester.
