Submit your own garment made from a fluid fabric to our contest gallery by 11:59pm, April 16th, and you could win $150 gift card to Fashionista Fabrics.

We’ll be judging from a photograph only. Threads editors will choose the winner based on the garment that depicts the most successful use of the drape, hand, and fluidity of the fabric chosen.

Be sure to tell us what fabric you used. Fluid fabrics include silks such as four-ply crepe, georgette, jersey, charmeuse, chiffon, and crepe de chine, as well as basket weaves, nets meshes and novelty weaves.
