1. Polyester tends to be very comfortable. It washes well and doesn't require special care. We tend
to use many polyester blend knits because they take color extremely well, they're durable, and
the dyes don't fade. Because polyester blends are man-made, they don't breath as well as cotton.
However, for a twirly dress, that doesn't really matter. There's plenty of room for air to go in an
out, and given the softness and durability, it really is the ideal fabric.
2. Cotton comes from the cotton plant. It's cheap, easy to clean, and comfortable. Unfortunately, it
easily stretches and loses its shape. It's also susceptible to wearing out over time.
3. Nylon was invented as a synthetic replacement for silk, it was used in WW2 to make parachutes
and tires. It was also used instead of silk to make women's stockings, which is where the term
"nylons" originated. Nylon is strong and inexpensive and is easily washed.
