Viscose Fabrics

Viscose Fabrics

Viscose fabrics are soft, breathable and beautifully fluid, making them one of the most popular choices for dressmaking. Known for their smooth handle and elegant drape, viscose dress fabrics are ideal for garments that need movement without bulk.

Our viscose fabric collection includes everything from lightweight challis to structured twill and comfortable jersey, along with modern fibre alternatives such as Tencel™ and other viscose blends. Whether you are sewing blouses, dresses, skirts or relaxed trousers, viscose offers comfort against the skin with a flattering finish.

If you’re looking for 100% viscose fabrics, use the Yarn Content filter and select 100% yarn content to remove blended options.

What Can You Make with Viscose Dress Fabric?

Viscose dress fabrics are particularly well suited to garments that rely on drape and movement. Popular choices include wrap dresses, shirt dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers and co-ords. The fluid nature of viscose allows patterns with gathers, pleats and soft shaping to sit beautifully.

If you are looking for a fabric that feels light yet substantial, viscose is often a reliable option.

Sewing and Caring for Viscose

Viscose can shift slightly when cutting, so laying fabric flat and cutting in a single layer can help with accuracy. A fine universal needle works well for woven viscose, while stretch needles are best for viscose jersey. Finishing seams neatly will improve longevity, as viscose can fray more than some other fibres.

We recommend pre-washing before sewing, as viscose may shrink slightly on the first wash. Wash garments on a cool, gentle cycle and press on a low heat while the fabric is still slightly damp for the best finish.
