Hi all! I'm getting decent at sewing and regularly wear clothes that I've sewn, but I still consider myself a novice when it comes to understanding fabrics. I'm primarily an online shopper which makes things a bit tough of course. I also like to steer toward natural fibers when possible.
Anyway, today my question has to do with drape. I really like wearing linen because of the breathability in summer, but it is not very drapey at all. Do you have any patterns or types of garments that you like to wear or sew that use fabric without a lot of drape?
If it matters (which, perhaps it doesn't -- this thread can be for all!), I'm a cis woman with a fairly classic style leaning feminine. I also have a short waist which is the bane of my existence, so I avoid anything that visually cuts me at the waist. I have even drafted the waist seam out of a dress pattern (it went great!).
