It's unbelievable how many different things you can make with a little imagination, a splash of creativity and a length of satin. Satin Fabrics are most commonly used in the manufacturing of clothing; dresses, nightwear, lingerie, blouses and evening gowns. Matte satin fabrics are particularly popular for wedding dresses and girls looking for a classic, chic prom dress. Here at Calico Laine we have a large variety of different Satin Fabrics, all of which can be used to create lots of fabulous things. Our duchess satin is available in an array of colours and is ideal for a large range of dressmaking products, like bridal wear and prom dresses as it is an elegant and lustrous fabric! You can even use this beautiful Satin Fabric to make luxury accessories such as evening gloves which will instantly add a touch of class to any formal outfit. Our duchess satin is 100% polyester and is a firm, heavier weight fabric but also soft to handle. You can buy this wonderful fabric from either of our stores - Neston, Cheshire and Liscard, Wirral, or if you are not lucky enough to live locally you can find our range of charming and feminine colour options online as we deliver to door steps all over the EU! A personal favourite of mine is the satin back dupion. This Satin Fabric is fantastic as unlike most fabrics it does not have a 'wrong' side, one side features a matte finish which is designed to simulate genuine silk and on the other side it has a beautiful sheen which is ideal for those who require a more satin like finish. However, unlike silk, this 100% polyester satin back dupion is completely fine to put in the washing machine meaning that this beautiful fabric is also extremely practical for everyday wear and can be worn and washed as many times as it needs to be!
