You want something a little heavier like cotton brocade (make sure it doesn't have any weather-resistant lining on it), a tafeta blend, or a crushed velvet blend. Make sure the fabric isn't too stretchy or else it will just drag and pull itself out of shape. You want something light enough that it will give the proper effect and billow out behind you a bit when you walk.
