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.

Frequently asked questions

Is 45 inches too narrow for evening wear?

It's narrower than standard, so plan accordingly. This Crystal Satin is 45 inches wide — a full 13 to 15 inches narrower than typical 58/60-inch satins — which means full skirts and wide pattern pieces need more yardage or creative layouts. What you get in return: a rare Japanese fabric blending crystal organza's ethereal shimmer with a lustrous satin hand, in a lightweight drape made for women's fashion and evening wear. For bodices, overlays, and nightgowns the width is plenty; for ballgowns, buy extra.

What makes it 'crystal'?

The shimmer woven into the satin. This Crystal Satin fuses the sparkling character of Japanese crystal organza with a smooth satin base, so the fabric has a luminous, light-catching finish rather than a flat satin shine. It comes in multiple vibrant and pastel shades, and the shimmer reads differently on each — pastels glow softly, jewel tones flash harder. Sample swatches are available, and for a fabric this distinctive we'd strongly suggest one before buying yards.
