Italian Abstract Stretch Metallic Brocade - Pickle Green
Lightweight fabric is characterized by its delicate and thin construction. It is often soft to the touch and has a gentle hand feel. Due to its minimal weight, it lacks substantial body and structure. This type of fabric is typically used for garments that require a flowing or airy appearance.
Note: We have assessed each fabric's weight to the best of our ability, acknowledging that weight alone doesn't always dictate how a fabric will behave. A heavily beaded tulle, for example, may be surprisingly heavy on the scale yet drape and function as a lightweight fabric in a garment. If you would like a more precise weight measurement, we are happy to provide GSM (grams per square meter) upon request, by emailing us at info@fabrics-fabrics.com.
Minimal fabric drape is characterized by a stiff, structured quality that holds its shape, falls away from the body with little to no clinging, and may not hold gathers well. This type of drape works well for structured and tailored garments.
Note: While fabric weight and drape are often related, many factors influence drape. Lightweight fabrics can be stiff and heavy fabrics can drape beautifully. We've categorized fabrics based on their typical properties, but these are just guidelines.
Opaque fabric does not allow any visibility of what lies beneath it, providing full coverage and a solid, impenetrable barrier, blocking the transmission of light.
Advanced fabrics are often luxurious and challenging to work with due to their texture, shifting, delicate nature, intricate weaves, bulk, significant drape or stretch. They require a high level of sewing precision, specialized tools or methods, and fabric prep.
Skill Level info: While we have categorized fabrics based on suggested skill levels, it's important to remember that this is just a guideline. The best way to determine if a fabric is suitable for your skill level is to research its properties and consider your previous sewing experience.
