Wispy Floral Printed Silk Chiffon - Beige / Orange / Green / Black
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.
Moderate fabric drape is considered the most versatile, as it works well for a wide range of garments. It skims the body without clinging, holds gathers well, creates soft folds and pleats, and strikes a balance between structure and fluidity.
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.
Sheer fabric allows light to pass through partially, softening the appearance of anything beneath it while still revealing some of its details.
Intermediate fabrics require a bit more experience and skill to handle. They may have more drape or stretch, fray more easily, or have a looser weave. You might need to use a special tool, or different needles to sew them successfully.
Please note: 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.
