Color Waves

Not sure about the color? We highly recommend ordering a sample swatch first to see the color and fabric in person. Colors may vary slightly due to screen settings and dye lots. Returns are accepted in accordance with our return policy and are subject to applicable restocking fees.

Dye Lot Variations

A Note About Dye Lots  Dye lots may vary slightly from order to order. As one fabric roll sells out and a new roll is opened, subtle color variations may occur. If matching a specific shade is important, we recommend ordering a sample swatch to view our current dye lot before placing your order.

Full Piece and/or Splits

Full Pieces & Splits

We always do our best to provide your order in one continuous piece whenever possible. However, as fabric rolls are completed or depending on how they arrive from the mill, an order may occasionally include more than one piece. Some mill-direct rolls may also contain splits within the roll.

For this reason, we cannot guarantee one continuous piece. If continuous yardage is important for your project, please contact our team before ordering so we can check availability for you.

We use this fabric to make historical gowns for

We use this fabric to make historical gowns for customers who want to avoid the high cost of real silk. It's light weight, and not as shiny as polyester satin, and it's easy to work with. It can also get wet without damage, and it doesn't get wrinkled easily. It doesn't ravel out easily, so we serge raw edges before we start sewing. It's a great way to get a gorgeous gown at a great price.

Great customer service! Fast to respond and generous with a solution

Great customer service! Fast to respond and generous with a solution to fix their mistake of wrong fabric sent. We are a university theater department and two fabrics in our order were fulfilled with the wrong fabric. We decided that we wanted to keep the wrong fabric (we are more likely to use it) and exchange the other fabric that was fulfilled correctly because, once in-hand, it was not what we expected. In an unexpected and very generous move, they offered for us to keep all of the fabric in the first batch and would still send the correct fabric from our original order for no extra charge. The replacement fabric was shipped the same day. Very good to know of a trustworthy and speedy online fabric vendor, especially since Joann Fabrics closed we were left without any decent-sized fabric stores carrying a wide variety of fabric types for in-person shopping.

small pieces

The fabric pieces were small for the price and I wasn't given any notice when it was to arrive. The fabric seems very nice though and a good price per yard.

I absolutely LOVE this fabric! It's cheap but doesn't look it, it sews beautifully, and it has a decent feel against the skin despite the texture. It's more transparent than tighter weaves, but not to the point where you'd need a lining. There are also a TON of colors, and I was able to find a perfect match for each piece of my cosplay despite needing about 6 separate ones.

I do find that some of the colors fray more than others for whatever reason, but pinking shears help a lot to prevent it from becoming a mess. My only real complaint is that the main swatch colors can vary SIGNIFICANTLY from the in person color, so you definitely need to look through all the photos and order swatches. Other than that, the fabric is fabulous, and people loved seeing it in person for my cosplay.

Will buy again!

Beautiful, saturated color with a nice sheen. This has a crisp hand and a good weight for a formal skirt and top. I am making a costume with it. I will definitely order again in the future.

Wrong color

I'm unsure if it was my screen settings or the dye lot but the color I had ordered was more Plum then magenta. It is still lovely fabric at an amazing price, and I am confidant I can fide some use for it but unfortunately it is not the color I wanted.

Great Fabric Great Value

This fabric is great. I needed a silk look fabric for a synthetic price and this fit the bill! The colors are deep and rich. This is a heavier weight than I thought I wanted but it turned out perfect for my project!

Great Fabric

It's so hard to find 120" quality material that is not sheer or blackout. The Polyester Faux Dupioni Fabric is going to work perfect for a bedspread I will be making. Thank you for your products!

Great price

Looks expensive; purchased for draperies for a stage set with limited budget and time constraints. Fabric arrived timely. The set looked fabulous and received many compliments specifically about the draperies.(& I was under budget!) Thank you.

Great quality faux silk

The quality of the faux silk was great. It just was not the color gold I wanted. However I would purchase from them another time.

Bait and switch

We spent a long time researching fabric suitable for covering the ceiling for my small business. When we found this offered by the bolt, we ordered samples (and paid for shipping!) but when we went to place the order, it was now only available to purchase by the yard. I emailed and got no response and then called and left a message. When I received a call back, the person confirmed that they no longer sell this by the bolt. I would have never have ordered samples if I had known this was the case. Super disappointed.

Beautiful fabric

This is very nice fabric especially for the price, but it is too sheer for our application at our church that has lumber framing to cover on the stage. I love the 120 inch width. That goes a long way!

NICE TO BE ABLE TO GET SWATCHES!

The swatch was very helpful…..I should've ordered more colors, but that’s on me!
Prices look very reasonable and I plan to place an order soon.

ALMOST, BUT NOT QUITE THERE YET

I would have given this a five-star rating had it not been for the end (beginning?) of the nine yards of material I purchased having what appeared to be grease stains and white blotches even after washing it. Their customer service was definitely a ten rating, as well as, their speed in shipping. However, I did not check the measurement of the piece ordered nor did I contact customer service and just started working on the dress.

For certain, I will order from them again.

Still Waiting for Delivery

I am still waiting for delivery of my samples🥲…as a Canadian customer, the slow delivery probably has everything to do with the mail service. Thus far, I am very impressed with the promptness of your business to send put the samples. I look forward to viewing the fabric colours and types of fabric for my next big sewing project - 12 matching dresses for a wedding❤️

Beautiful. Ended up with a lot more of the Dupioni silk than I needed. If you could list the yardage in square yards as well as inches, that would be helpful since I’m terrible at math.

Love the the fabric and the color is great. The delivery was really fast.
