The time of year often dictates our choices of Dressmaking Fabrics, which is why here at Calico Laine we always ensure that we have a fantastic selection available all year round. Now that we are in warmer months (and hopefully expecting some sunshine!) we look to using slightly lighter materials that will be used in garments designed to keep us looking cool and stylish. One of our current best-sellers, and a fashion 'must-have' this year is Printed Chiffon. With a stunning range of designs to choose from, we are confident that you will find a print to suit your tastes. All of our Printed Chiffon Dressmaking Fabrics are of the highest quality, ensuring that you achieve a garment that really does have that designer look and feel. To line any of our Printed Chiffons we have a large variety of other Dressmaking Fabrics. The first choice may be our anti-static Dress Lining. This is an ideal width of 150 cm and is available in a fantastic range of colours, meaning that you are able to find the perfect match for any of your projects. For something a little heavier, why not try our Economy Satin as a way of lining? Not only does this provide weight to any garment, it is also extremely comfortable to wear and is again available in a wonderful selection of shades. Chiffon is ideal for garments being designed for formal occasions, however we also have options perfect for more casual wear. One Dressmaking Fabric to consider for this would be Viscose Jersey. This is a wonderfully stretchy cloth that is soft to handle and is most popular for it hugging fit and comfort when worn against skin.
