Polyester Dupioni fabric is a sturdy, wrinkle-resistant, medium weight fabric with a phenomenal, unique textured surface and a beautiful sheen. It is often used in eveningwear and bridal/wedding, but can also be used for suits and high end sportswear and home decor. This fabric is a cheaper alternative to Silk Dupioni with a very similar appearance. The slabs are very apparent which is characteristic of Dupioni fabric. It is a very forgiving fabric that is very easy to sew.
100% Polyester Imported And Domestic Quality First Quality Fabric 55 Inches Wide
Slubby, textured surface from the uneven Dupioni fibers. Similar weight to duchess satin – it is crisp and holds its shape when draped.
Velvety sheen due to the way the silk filaments reflect light
This fabric is very forgiving and easy to sew, but tends to ravel at raw edges
Use with nap cutting layout (i.e. all pattern pieces laid out in the same lengthwise direction) so all pattern pieces reflect light the same way and shading is prevented.
Use standard stitch size and a sharp, universal (or quilting) needle when machine sewing
Dupioni silk is wrinkle resistant, but since it is a natural fiber this means it also does not hold a crease well
Great for tailored and structured garments
Texture can feel rough on the skin, so it’s best to line garments made in this fabric.
Even when fully lining the garment, overlock (serge) seam allowances to prevent fraying
The fabric is somewhat stiff in its original state – you can wash on gentle cycle with cold water and hang straight to dry for softer drape. We recommend you test a small piece of yardage first, though.
Dupioni is very versatile. Depending on the garment, some of the finishes you can use are: French seams, overlock (serger), binding, rolled hem, hand-stitched or top-stitched hem.
Machine wash in cold water or dry clean. Tumble dry on a medium setting, then remove promptly.
