Viscose, Tencel & Modal

Shop viscose and Tencel dressmaking fabric for soft, drapey garments. These fabrics are ideal for floaty dresses, blouses, skirts, wide-leg trousers, jumpsuits, camisoles and relaxed summer sewing. Viscose is popular with dressmakers because it has beautiful movement and often comes in striking prints, from florals and abstract designs to animal prints and classic patterns.

Tencel and viscose blends can feel smooth, breathable and fluid, making them a lovely choice when cotton feels too crisp. These fabrics are best suited to patterns that need drape rather than structure. Use fine pins, sharp scissors and a new machine needle for accurate sewing.
