Charmeuse Stretch

$0.00$1.00

Charmeuse Stretch is a lightweight fabric woven with a satin weave, in which the warp threads cross over four or more of the backing (weft) threads. These float threads give the front of the fabric a smooth, shiny finish, whereas the back has a dull finish. The addition of spandex gives the fabric just enough stretch.

Description

Charmeuse stretch differs from plain satin in that charmeuse has a different ratio of float (face) threads, contains spandex, and is of a lighter weight. Charmeuse has been used for decades to create beautiful garments. Charmeuse makes an ideal fabric for tops, blouses, dresses, accessories, crafts, and home decor items. With just the right mix of softness, stretch, and shine, Charmeuse is light enough to craft into almost any clothing item, and pretty enough to lighten up most designs.
