Description
Description
Satin Chiffon is 100 GSM and 145cm wide, a satin weave of 96.5% polyester and 3.5% spandex. It has the sheen and fluid drape of a charmeuse, with a little stretch along the length for comfort in fitted pieces. It is still a woven fabric, not a knit. Buy it plain by the metre in white, or printed to order as the base for any PrintLab design.
What to sew with Satin Chiffon
- Slip dresses and bias cut skirts
- Fitted blouses and camisoles
- Eveningwear
- Sleepwear
- Scarves
Satin Chiffon or Studio Satin
Choose Studio Satin (80 GSM) for a glossier, lighter satin with no stretch. Choose Satin Chiffon when a fitted piece needs ease. For a matte drape, see Crepe de Chine. Satin Chiffon also comes in solid colours.
Printed satin
Prints look rich on the satin face. Florals, animal prints and painterly designs suit it well. Pick any design from the PrintLab catalogue, or upload your own artwork.
Satin Chiffon questions
Does it stretch? A little, along the length, from the 3.5% spandex.
Is it see-through? Not in most prints. Pale designs may need a slip underneath.
How do I sew it? Use a fine sharp or microtex needle, fine pins, and cut in a single layer.
How do I iron it? Low heat, from the back.
Can I feel it first? Yes. Order a 25 x 25cm swatch from this page, or the Base Fabrics Pack to compare every print base.
