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.
Taffeta is a plain, smooth and clean fabric, recognizable by its slight crisp appearance. Traditionally woven from silk, it is considered a high-end fabric. Its light structure and hold allow it to drape the body elegantly, creating refined and structured silhouettes.
This 100%Â burgundy silk taffeta is ideal for making ball gowns, wedding or evening dresses, as well as for making accessories. It also finds its place in interior decoration, particularly for curtains or wall coverings with a chic and bright look.
Taffeta made in Italy.
