Chiffon is a beautiful elegant fabric which is soft and light to the touch.It is a very sheer fabric which is commonly used over other fabrics such as Satins to create a lovely texture and body! Chiffon flows with movement and really creates a dream like looking garment.. Cationic Chiffon is an iridescent two tone fabric which is shot with two colours which gently blend into each other depending on what angle that you look at it. We have recently added to our range which includes some absolutely flawless looking colours! Cationic Chiffon is 140 cm wide which looks and feels like real silk. Many people use Cationic Chiffon for bridal wear and evening dresses and drape it over other fabrics to build up colours and use it as a trail or sleeves on dresses...
We have also had a new delivery of some brilliant Two Tone Chiffon. It fades from a deep colour into a lighter shade and really is stunning. It is only available in a few select colour choices but are really effective. These Two Tone Chiffon's are 145 cm wide and still have that sheer look to them. A popular design at the moment is a dress with a trail, or where the underneath fabric finishes above the knees leaving the chiffon to flow to the floor. This type of design looks especially stunning with these Champagne Chiffon's! Everybody loves a bit of sparkle, the 'Bubbles Chiffon' range uses the two tone effect but has sprinkles of glitter4 throughout the fabric. When this fabric moves, it catches the light and give off beautiful glimmers which really will create a show stopping garment!
Taffeta is not a sheer fabric but has that two tone, iridescent look to it... Taffeta is opaque but may need lining to add bit of weight for the finished product. For example, the 'Teal Taffeta' is a teal colour shot with reddish tones. There is a wide range of colours i8n the Taffeta range some more iridescent than others, so why not see what colour effects you can create with these stunning fabrics. And don't forget, we do offer a sampling service so you can have a real look and feel of all our fabrics before buying! Samples can be ordered from our helpful sales team on 0151 353 9876!
