What fabric do I need to sew puff sleeves and a full skirt dress?

I'm doing a dress that has puffed sleeves and a full skirt and I'm wondering if there are any types of nice fabrics that I can use that will drape well but also be light enough to puff at the sleeves. Is there a weight I should be looking for?

Silk charmuse, satin, or chiffon are all rich, subtle shimmery, soft and will drape nicely. If the fabric you choose is too soft to hold up to the puffs - and old dressmaking tip is to add some netting inside the sleeves at the shoulder seam to keep up the puff. As for the skirt - are you planning to build a pettiskirt as part of the dress or creating a separate garment. Is the skirt to be long or short?

Here is a brief list of various gown materials and their characteristics:

Silk: Silk is a captivating classic choice for a prom dress. It is shimmery, elegant and always in style.

Organza: Feels much like silk, but is light weight due to the blend of silk, polyester and nylon that comprise the fabric. Organza falls nicely and works well for long dresses as it creates a nice line when it drapes.

Taffeta: Taffeta is a stiffer fabric choice for prom dresses, but makes lovely shorter dresses when combined with tulle underlays. Dare to be delightfully different with a taffeta prom dress.

Satin: Satin is not as durable as silk and when the fibers are mixed with cotton, the fabric is called sateen and is a lighter soft fabric.

Chiffon: Chiffon makes a beautiful statement and flows nicely over the body. Often used in layers for prom dresses, chiffon creates a sugary sweet look. Chiffon is shimmery and looks like closely woven netting when looked at closely. Irridescent chiffon makes any girl look like a gem.

Charmeuse: Charmeuse has a floaty appearance which drapes beautifully making it an excellent choice for prom dress material. It is silk with a satin finish and like most prom dress material is extremely fragile.

Tulle: Tulle is the material that tutus are made of. It is a net like fabric often used in layers under a prom dress to add bulk.

As for weight, it depends on the time of year that you will be wearing the gown, the weather conditions 'normal' for then (you don't want to wear velvet in summer - or chiffon in winter) and the effect that you want to create.

Since you indicate that you want the gown to have some structure of its own - then a mid-weight will be best - and as I said, if the sleeve does not puff sufficiently it can be enhanced. Or you could use several different weights of material throughout the gown and keep something very light for the sleeves, which could act as an overskirt on the bell of the gown.
