65 Fabric Types – Material Knowledge
Fabric choice defines the character of a garment just as much as its cut. Each material has its own texture, drape, level of comfort and care requirements. Natural fibres like cotton, linen or wool behave differently from synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon. Modern blends and high-performance materials add even more versatility: some are breathable, others temperature-regulating or water-repellent.
Our comprehensive fabric guide introduces you to 65 fabric types – from Toile de Jouy and French Terry to Georgette and Modal. We explain their properties, advantages and typical uses in fashion, along with practical care tips to help your favourite pieces last longer.
Our Size Guide
The perfect fit is more than just a number – it’s the key to feeling confident and comfortable in what you wear. To help you find your ideal size, our Size Guide explains how Ana Alcazar garments fit and shows you how to measure yourself correctly. This helps reduce unnecessary returns, protects the environment and ensures your pieces fit beautifully from the very first wear.
Style Is a Matter of Personality
Style is not something you own – it is something you create. It’s the way you choose fabrics, interpret shapes and define your silhouette. True style is not about following trends. It’s about discovering what expresses you.
At Ana Alcazar, we unite over 40 years of design expertise, craftsmanship and vision. We believe in fashion with integrity – designed with love, produced in Europe, refined in limited collections, and created to celebrate individuality. Every piece tells a story of confidence, lightness and feminine strength.
Our Style Advice is more than a guide. It is an invitation:
Explore your signature look. Experiment with new proportions. Find pieces that feel like you.
Fashion comes and goes – style stays. Wear your Story - Ana Alcazar
