Featured John Kaldor Fabrics
Arian
Arian is a silk-blend chiffon in a deep sapphire blue with a burned-out floral design running through it. It has a soft, floaty drape that makes it a strong choice for occasionwear, blouses or layered pieces where you want movement and a lighter finish.
Marmaris
Marmaris is a soft cotton trousering with a woven twill construction and a surprisingly nice drape. It’s a versatile cloth that would suit trousers, skirts, dresses and shirts, and it comes in coral, black and beige colourways.
Scuba Crepe
Scuba crepe is lighter than a standard scuba fabric, with a textured crepe surface and added elastane for stretch and recovery. It’s a good option for more fitted garments, including dresses and separates, where you want shape without too much weight.
Salso
Salso is a linen fabric with an easy, breathable feel that makes it ideal for warmer weather sewing. It would suit relaxed trousers, dresses and simple separates, and it comes in navy, ivory and hot pink.
Blossom
Blossom comes from the paris collection and features an eastern-inspired floral print on a jet black satin ground. With its fluid handle and smooth finish, it would work well for dresses, skirts, tops and blouses where you want something eye-catching but still easy to wear.
If you’re looking for dressmaking fabrics with a more refined feel, John Kaldor is always worth browsing. This mix of textures, prints and weights offers plenty of choice for both everyday sewing and more special makes.
