Burgundy comes across as a deep, rich red with a hint of brown – warm and muted rather than bold. On this medium-weight jersey, the colour looks calm and dense, almost like a wine tone caught in autumn light.
At 220 g/m² the fabric feels pleasantly substantial in the hand without turning stiff. It drapes softly while still holding enough body to stay opaque. The surface is smooth and supple, typical for a jersey with an elastane content.
Thanks to the 5% elastane, the fabric moves with the body and springs back into shape after stretching. That combination of hold and flexibility makes it well suited both for children's clothing, which needs plenty of freedom of movement, and for close-fitting adult garments.
What Vanessa Burgundy is suitable for
- Suitable for dresses, as the 220 g/m² weight keeps the fabric opaque.
- Suitable for tops and bodysuits, since the jersey drapes softly and stretches thanks to its 5% elastane.
- Suitable for leggings, as the knit stretches in both directions.
- Suitable for children's clothing, since the fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
Sewing tips

Frequently asked questions
How stretchy is this fabric?
With 5% elastane, the jersey stretches in both directions, with stronger cross-grain stretch around the body than lengthwise stretch.
Do I need to allow for shrinkage when cutting?
Yes, the fabric has a residual shrinkage of 5%. Washing it before cutting evens this out and prevents the finished garment from losing its shape later.
Is this fabric suitable for sensitive skin?
The jersey is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances. This makes it suitable for baby and children's clothing with direct skin contact.
How do I care for this fabric?
Wash at 30 degrees, iron on a low setting, do not bleach and do not tumble dry. This keeps the colour and fit of the Burgundy jersey intact over time.
