Lightweight

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.

Generous

Generous fabric drape is characterized by a soft, fluid movement that creates graceful folds and curves as it follows the contours of the body. This type of drape gathers well and works beautifully for less structured garments, resulting in a luxurious, elegant silhouette.

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

Sheer fabric allows light to pass through partially, softening the appearance of anything beneath it while still revealing some of its details.

Grainy
Advanced

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.

Why Order a Swatch?

We highly encourage ordering swatches before you purchase any fabric yardage in order to get the best sense of color, weight, drape, stretch, and fabrication.

Since most of the fabrics we carry are exclusive limited-stock goods originally produced by luxury fashion brands & mills, we often are not provided with exact fabrication details upon acquiring fabric lots. Therefore, ordering a swatch will answer many of the questions you might have.  Additionally, although we take every step possible to ensure as accurate a color representation as possible, the colors of fabrics cannot be guaranteed as monitor calibration and display settings vary from device to device.

Note: Our swatches are approximately 3 inches x 6 inches in size (excluding solid silks). Our solid silk swatches can vary in size based on our mill’s availability.
