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.
Originally invented for the famous fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, gazar is a rigid fabric made of intertwined and twisted double threads. This rigidity makes it possible to give many shapes to the fabric without it losing its hold.
This 100% silk bright yellow gazar will be perfect for all your creations in which a drape or a certain shape and rigidity are necessary.
Silk gazar made in Italy.
