What does it mean if a dress is pilling?

Pilling happens when a loosely (usually) woven fabric is rubbed over and over. Sometimes this happens during wearing sometimes in a closet that is too full. It can also happen while washing, especially if the washing instructions are not followed.It pulls fibers out of the fabric and rubs them together to form a ball or "pill" that is still attached to the garment. never pull them off. carefully cut them when necessary, but each time it happens it creates a weak spot in the fabric.

It means that little bits of fiber are collected into balls all over your dress. This happens a lot with knits, sometimes with cotton. The link below has more information on pilling.

It is the little fuzz balls that sometimes you get on material where it rubs against itself or against something else. It is easy to remove with a razor by shaving them off.
