Satin Fabrics are a staple fabric when it comes to dressmaking and with good reason. Satins look, feel and make up really well. Here at Calico Laine we offer a wide range of diffferent satins. In my short blog entry today I will talk a little about our range of different satins and some of there uses: Duchess Satin: this particular cloth is my personal favourite. It is a heavy weight fabric that is perfect for dresses, skirts and even waist coats. It has a matt finish to it and is also 150cm wide. Satin Back Crepe: A beautiful double sided fabric, satin back crepe can be used in a variety of different ways within dressmaking. It has a satin finish on one side and a crepe finish on the other, so you can use either side. It comes in a choice of stunning colours and is 115cm wide. Economy Satin: This is nice quality cloth and can be used as a stand alone fabric or as a dress lining cloth. It really is personal choice. Our range of economy satins come in wide choice of different colours and are 150cm wide. Velour Satin: A new fabric to us here at Calico Laine, this fabric is truly stunning. It has a velour finish with a satin back. It comes in a choice of beautiful colours and is ideal for evening wear. I hope you have enjoyed my short entry today.
