🧵 Suggested Fabrics
The Tierna dress if very versatile, it can be made in just about any fabric, knit or woven, light-weight or heavy, it just depends on what look you're going for! We love it in particular in the Indian cottons for a breezy look, linen for more upscale, and fleece or french terry for a more sporty, cool weather style. The possibilities are endless! Denim, cotton jersey, velvet, the list goes on.
