ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
FABRIC CHOICE
Make the BOX PLEAT DRESS in fabrics that are mid weight with a bit of crispness to it, such as most cottons and linens, to enhance the A-shaped design. We recommend our beautiful and unique fabrics like our velvet fabrics from Atelier Brunette, denim fabric from Merchant & Mills for a strong or relaxed modern feel, cotton weaves from Lebenskleidung for a classic statement dress, or double gauze cottons from nani IRO for a femine look.
Use crisp fabric with a bit of shine for a glamourous sixties feel such as our nani IRO Birds eye sateen weave in 100% cotton.
For a closer-to-the-body design with a feminine movement to it, use a softer fabric such as our nani IRO cotton/silk blend or linen 185 from Merchant & Mills.
