About Our Fabrics


100% Cotton Broadcloth: A plain weave, medium weight tightly woven fabric with a faint rib that is soft and durable, holds a crease well and has a nice drape.

100% Cotton or PolyCotton Batiste: Batiste is a lightweight, sheer, delicate fabric in a plain weave and has a graceful drape. A very smooth and soft, yet sheer fabric.

100% Cotton Interlock: A double face knit, stretchy fabric that looks the same on both sides. Interlock is the tightest weave and offers the smoothest surface.

100% Cotton Sateen: Cotton sateen is a smooth mid-weight fabric with an elegantly subtle shine. It is a very soft, finely woven fabric.

100% Cotton Bubble Gauze: A thin, sheer plain-weave fabric made from cotton. Like a crinkle gauze, it is light and airy.





100% Silk Dupioni: A subtly textured fabric woven from a double strand of silk yarn in a plain weave pattern. The yarn is uneven and varies in width, creating a series of natural horizontal "slubs", which should not be considered flaws, as they make up the unique character of the textile. Is light to medium weight, and has a crisp finish with an understated sheen for an overall luxurious appearance.

100% Silk Shantung: Shantung is a plain weave fabric with a slight rib. Shantungs have frequent slubs that give them an uneven surface texture somewhat similar to that of dupioni and is moderately crisp.  

Soft Gabardine (Polyester / Rayon blend): A worsted twill weave that is wrinkle resistant and has a firm, durable, warp-faced cloth. Considered a year-round fabric.

PolyCotton Broadcloth: A tightly woven plain weave fabric that offers a wrinkle-resistant, no-shine finish.

 

Matte Satin: A mid-weight smooth, tightly woven fabric with a "de-lustered" surface, which has a soft, rich glow rather than a glaring shine.  

Nylon: A family of high strength resilient synthetic material.

Polyester Organza: A plain weave fabric made of tightly twisted yarns in a sheer, light weight with a crisp finish. Somewhat translucent with a crinkle.

Polyester Pique: A medium-weight cotton or cotton blend tightly woven fabric with a pebbly weave that looks almost like a check.

Taffeta: Crisp, plain woven fabric with a very fine cross rib. Taffeta has a smooth texture with a soft sheen on the surface.

Tricot: Durable, lightweight, sheer knitted fabric using super fine synthetic fibers.

Tulle: A lightweight, extremely fine, machine-made netting, it is softer to the touch than netting. Has a light to medium stiffness.
