Fabric library

I love @makethedot because it is so specific to my workflow as a fashion marketing student. I love that I can search for fabrics from all the different suppliers and it's so easy to use the Eyedropper to match the exact color on the fabric that I'm looking for.

I highly recommend my students to bridge their online to offline fabric research and experiment with different textures before finalizing on a purchase. Even when I'm designing myself, I often use @makethedot's fabric library to find specific print patterns to complement my concept. It is so convenient!

One of my favorite things about @makethedot is definitely the fabric library. It is so important for students to use accurate fabric images in their projects rather than searching on Google or Pinterest, which can often give you a generic fabric image that does not match with the type that you're looking for.

I'd normally never visit the fabric suppliers' websites directly, but now that it's embedded within @makethedot, I love looking up the fabrics before visiting the store because it gives me inspiration and helps conjure up new ideas while I'm designing. I also use it to show the visualization to my teacher before buying the fabric.

I really love the fabric library on @makethedot not only because you can search for specific types of fabrics but it will also tell you where the source is. Previously I was using Adobe Illustrator to do my concept development but Make the Dot makes it so much more streamlined with all the fashion specific tools.

After using @makethedot, I noticed that I started experimenting with more fabric options and novelty fabrics in my design. The experience of browsing and searching digitally is so much easier than going aisle by aisle in the physical shop.
