Taffeta is a beautiful quality fabric and can be used for many dressmaking projects. At Calico Laine we sell a German made high quality taffeta that is a perfect weight for dressmaking with. When you shop around and look at different taffeta there is a real mix of different qualities out there. When looking at taffeta for dressmaking with you need to be looking for something with a bit of body and also texture. These are always a good sign of high quality taffeta and something you should try and find.
Taffeta fabrics can also be used as window decoration and for curtains, although the range of taffeta that we sell here at Calico Laine is more of a dressmaking weight cloth. It is 150cm wide and made from 100% polyester. Below I have inserted a couple of pictures of some of our taffeta.
