Viscose drapes soft and fluid. It is cool on the skin, which makes it the fabric for blouses, dresses and wide trousers. At 140 cm wide its weight per square metre is 120 g/m². It is woven from 100 % Rayon.
Black/Ecru makes pale patterns stand out particularly clearly — the greatest contrast there is. A geometric pattern reads calm and graphic — it carries a piece without distracting from it. The cut edge frays; on thin goods a French seam is the cleanest answer. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What Viskose Geometrisch Schwarz/Ecru is suitable for
- summer dresses
- wide trousers and skirts
- kimonos
Frequently asked questions
How do I wash it?
Cool and gentle. Viscose loses strength when wet and shrinks more readily than cotton. Before cutting, wash it once the way the finished piece will be washed.
Do I need a lining?
On thin, pale goods often yes — otherwise the garment is see-through. A light lining or a slip solves it without destroying the drape. A second piece of the same fabric will do as well, if the colour matches.
How much fabric do I need?
More for draping cuts than for straight ones: a dress with fullness needs the fabric its folds are made of. On repeat prints allow extra waste.
The fabric slips while cutting — what helps?
Lay it flat rather than over a table edge, weigh it down and cut with a rotary cutter. Pins leave holes in fine goods; clips at the edge are the better choice.
