Silk taffeta is a shiny, durable, medium weight fabric with a beautiful crisp drape. It is most often used in eveningwear and bridal/wedding, but can also be used for suits and high end sportswear. Silk taffeta holds its shape very well and so is ideal for creating voluminous garments that take advantage of the garment's sheen and crispness. Taffeta is a unique and distinctive fabric that is very easy to sew. This fabric is available in a wide range of colors.
