Silk Gauze


Description

Silk gauze is a sheer, thin open weave fabric sometimes confused with organza. Silk organza is heavier and crisper. Like it sounds, silk gauze is more loosely woven, and and fairly floppy. Unlike its cotton cousin, silk gauze is not used for bandages.

General Uses

Silk gauze is very lightweight and sheer, and can be gathered for bouffant uses, used alone or over other fabrics for closely-fitted to loosely-fitted blouses, dresses and evening wear. Also useful for facings, interfacings or lining. Both silk gauze and silk organza are easy to sew and don't show needle holes.

Fabric Care

Washable, but wash it before cutting out. Click on the fabric care buttons to the left for more information on washing silks.

Colors

We stock silk gauze in white, but it dyes very well.

Pricing

Silk gauze is 45" wide, and is $6.50 per yard.
