Here at Calico Laine Satin Fabrics are our best selling dressmaking fabric and with good reason. Satin Fabric is easily recognisable by its glossy surface and stunning sheen making this the perfect choice for creating the most glamorous of designs including evening dresses, bridal gowns and even stage costume. We carry a huge range of Satin Fabrics suitable for almost any task and due to its immense popularity we are always working hard to source the latest designs. Recently we have added the stunning silk touch Satin Fabric to our collection. Featuring a unique composition of 95% polyester and 5% spandex silk touch Satin Fabric is set apart by its incredible drape and slight stretch resulting in a fabric which is particularly flattering on all body shapes and perfect for creating a range of elegant handmade clothing items such as dresses, skirts and waterfall jackets.

Popular for its liquid like lustre and stunning drape silky Satin Fabric is the go to choice for special occasion pieces such as evening gowns, bridesmaid dresses and even the bride's own gown. Available to purchase in a range of classic shades silky Satin Fabric is also ideal for smart/casual clothing items such as dresses, blouses and fashionable kimonos. If you are looking for a Satin Fabric with a little more pizazz printed Satin Fabrics are available in a variety of eye catching designs. Composed of an excellent quality 100% polyester, printed Satin Fabrics feature the same lustrous sheen as our other satins and are ideal for summer clothing items such as skirts, blouses and maxi dresses. Duchess Satin is the stalwart of our satin collection and is considered to be the most high end of our Satin Fabrics. This luxuriously soft fabric is considered to be a more cost effective choice than pure silk but is by no means a cheap alternative. An extravagant fabric in its own right duchess satin is just perfect for even the most special occasions and  is extremely popular as a bridal fabric. Popular for its fantastic weight and beautiful range of movement, duchess satin is perfect for creating stunning bridal gowns in structured designs and is heavy enough to hold beautiful designs of embroidery and embellishment. Our stunning collections of satin back crepe and satin back dupion are also wonderful choices for dressmaking projects. Satin Fabrics are not only ideal for dressmaking but are also perfect for a range of more practical uses. Economy Satin Fabric is the most cost effective of our Satin Fabrics and is the ideal choice for theatre costumes and backdrops. Composed of 100% polyester, economy satin is also the perfect choice for displays and looks wonderful when made up into drapes, backdrops and even stage curtains.
