Solids fall into the small-pattern category. Patterns may be curved or straight. Choose two straight patterns and one curved or two curved and one straight. A solid is considered curved or straight depending on how it is used. Choose fabrics of varying texture.
Most silks are smooth, whereas wool or cotton with ridges is rough.
Sheen refers to the way that light is reflected from a fabric. Choose two shiny fabrics and one dull, or two dull and one shiny. The print is the anchor fabric, and the green and beige fabrics reflect its colors. The green fabric is darker than the anchor fabric, with a straight, small-scale pattern, a smooth texture and a bit of sheen. The beige fabric is lighter than the anchor fabric, with a straight, small-scale pattern, a rough texture and a dull sheen.
