This lightweight, 110 gsm fabric offers a delightful crinkle texture and a subtle stretch, making it ideal for everything from flowing blouses to lightweight dresses.

FAQs

Does this fabric need to be ironed?

No, the signature crinkle texture is permanent, so it is designed to be worn without ironing.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, but because it is lightweight and slightly fluid, beginners should use plenty of pins or weights when cutting.

Can I use this for structured garments?

It is better suited for loose-fitting or draped items rather than highly structured pieces like tailored blazers.

Does it fray easily?

Like many lightweight voiles, it can fray at the edges, so it is recommended to finish your seams with a zigzag stitch or an overlocker.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric is 110 gsm, classifying it as a light to medium weight material.

Troubleshooting

Fabric shifting during cutting

Use pattern weights instead of pins and cut on a single layer of fabric to ensure accuracy.

Seams puckering

Adjust your machine's thread tension and ensure you are using a new, sharp needle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Permanent crinkle texture requires no ironing
  • Lightweight and breathable for summer wear
  • Easy to wash and maintain
  • Good drape for feminine silhouettes
  • Multiple colorways available for coordination

Cons

  • May require lining due to voile's inherent transparency
  • Crinkle texture can make precise pattern matching challenging
  • Lightweight nature might shift during cutting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, pre-wash your fabric at 40 degrees before cutting to account for any initial shrinkage. Use a universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) for construction. When pressing seams, use a light touch with the iron to avoid flattening the characteristic crinkle texture; ideally, steam the fabric slightly rather than applying direct heat and pressure. The fabric is compatible with standard sewing machine threads and can be finished with a standard straight stitch or a narrow serged seam to accommodate the lightweight weave.
