What is this fabric called?

Aug 07, 2003 2 Replies

I made a skirt for my girl friend, and she wore it out the other day. Several people liked the skirt, and when she told them that I made it for her, they wanted one. I'm out of the material now, and would like to make some other skirts like that one.



It was made using a non-sheer, poly-rayon (or maybe acetate) knit fabric. It's very slinky (I think that's the word, it slides around) It drapes well, and has a soft hand, but is not shinny. It's fairly heavy, but that is probably just because it is synthetic. It's not that thick.



Thanks!


Believe it or not, it's actually called Slinky rayon. Sometimes it also has a little bit of Lycra, but most often it doesn't. Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati
