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.

Brocade

The oriental brocade was a 5 star. The other two were a 1 star. I wasn’t able to use them. They feel like foil paper.

Bold cobalt blue that reads well in varying types of lighting. Simple clean, but detailed woven pattern with gold and coppery brown tones that complement the blue well. Medium weight fabric with great body. Oh as best of all really quick shipping!

Frequently asked questions

Bamboo vs Flower vs B88 — which Chinese brocade?
Motif choice on a shared base. All three are 100% polyester Chinese brocades — satin brocades woven to look embroidered — 45" wide, about 7 oz per linear yard, crisp-yet-soft hand, dry clean only. Bamboo: bamboo-stalk pattern with smooth metallic sheen. Flower: oriental floral with metallic sheen. B88: oriental metallic flower (58" wide — note the wider goods). Same fiber, same care, same costume-and-decor mission ('go to fabric for all your Chinese historic ideas'). Choose the motif that matches your era and story; the construction is identical.
45 inches wide — enough for a cheongsam?
Yes, with careful layout. A cheongsam (qipao) is a slim garment — the 45" width accommodates standard sizes with the pattern pieces laid efficiently; the listing positions these brocades for 'special garments' and historic costume. The crisp-yet-soft hand tailors well for the structured cheongsam silhouette. For larger sizes or full traditional robes, buy extra yardage for piecing. And cut all pieces in one direction — brocade's sheen shifts with direction, and mismatched pieces show.
Is the metallic sheen very shiny?
A smooth metallic sheen — present but not blinding. The listing describes a 'smooth metallic sheen' on the bamboo pattern: it reads as rich brocade luster, not disco shine. That's the traditional brocade look — luminous under light, dignified rather than flashy. For historic costumes, that restraint is authentic; imperial brocades glowed rather than glittered. If you want maximum metallic flash, our lame fabrics are the brighter choice — brocade is the refined one.
