Fabrics in Dressmaker
47 fabrics are documented so far across four cloth families. The game's own marketing claims hundreds of fabrics, so this list grows as the community catalogues more. Verified tag data comes from game-file testing on build 410.
The expensive-fabric myth, tested
Pricey fabric does not score higher on style tags. For 18 of the 22 tags, the best-scoring fabric is on sale from the start, usually a 10g cotton or wool. The 80g velvets just look nicer. These are the tested best buys:

Silk and velvet look thin here because the community wiki has only catalogued one of each so far; the in-game shop stocks far more. Burlap deserves a special mention: it is free, and it is the only fabric tagged Uncomfortable.
