g/ml or g/m²: how to convert a fabric’s weight
g/ml tells you what the metre you buy weighs, g/m² what the fabric itself weighs. The formula, a table by width, and when to look at which.
Silk muslin is a sheer, flowing, and incredibly lightweight fabric. Its ombré effect, characterized by a subtle gradient of colors, lends it a touch of softness, depth, and elegance.
This 100% silk ombré chiffon, in shades ranging from coral to pink, is ideal for creating evening gowns, blouses, scarves, shawls, and refined designs with an airy drape.
Chiffon made in France.
