Cotton Shirting & Dressmaking
Cotton dressmaking fabric is such a wide term that encompasses lots of different weaves, designs, colours and styles. This collection of cotton dress fabrics features cloths from Italian cotton shirting to European made chino trouser fabrics. There are some truly gorgeous printed dress fabrics featured here too for you to create your own on-trend fashion item.
Shirting Fabric is a broad term used to refer to a variety of fabrics, where the fabric is generally tightly woven and less sheer, making them an ideal shirt weight. Shirting fabric tends to have a high thread count and is usually yarn dyed, ensuring that the pattern is woven into the fabric. Â Our collection of shirting fabric also includes some linen and wool mixes, chambray and some finely woven cotton poplins here that are suitable for making all manner of shirting patterns. All very easy to sew and the perfect dress fabric for beginners and experienced sewers alike.
