Maxfeel 100% Pure Mulberry Silk Charmuse Floral Fabric 45 Wide for Bedding Dress by The Yard or by Half Yard (Sold by Half a Yard, #10)

This is the material intended for the pelisse of a reproduction Regency-period ball gown. It'll be lined to give it more structure, but the colors and patterning are lovely and will go beautifully with the under dress (that material was purchased from this vendor as well). It is expensive, but it feels and looks and drapes beautifully. If you're looking for material for a custom wedding dress, or really any formal occasion and want natural fabrics, this is definitely worth considering. Vendor packaged it carefully and delivered it without any fuss--the kind of transaction you always hope for, but are becoming rarer and harder to find. I will be using this vendor again specifically for the quality of the fabric and the stress-free experience.

Absolutely gorgeous piece of material. Although the colors pictured are the same, that picture doesn't do it justice. The colors are rich, yet subtle, even, and the pattern flows nicely. I am not a fabric oficiando, and have never purchased silk, but what I do know is that it doesn't have the heavy feel and high-shine of the satin I've used for other projects. I purchased this to treat myself by sewing a luxurious, silk pillowcase. I can tell that it would drape beautifully if used for a blouse, yet it isn't see-through. I wouldn't know if this is real silk, but I would keep it anyway. They do include an inch swatch of the cloth, I suppose for testing. The fabric measures just a bit over 36," and each end is a straight cut, so I can see I have a true 36" piece. Assuming it's not a huge pain in butt to sew up an envelope-type pillow, i will definitely be back for more.

Very happy with this fabric. Even prettier in person, lovely drape, quality feel.

Pretty and soft

Very good quality; beautiful print

This product looks nice, but it is not pure silk - if it is silk at all. It does not pass the burning test. Just look up the tests they show on YouTube. This product flames up, which silk does not do. And the burnt material, although not totally gummy, is not pure ash either. The residue is somewhat sticky, but also has ash. Which leads me to believe that it may actually have SOME silk in it, but I'm not sure if other materials, like cotton, might produce the same effect. The burnt part and the smoke also do not smell like burnt or singed hair. More like burnt plastic, but again, not entirely. I will not be buying from this vendor again.

This fabric is silk charmeuse, so it has a beautiful “hand” as they call it in the textile field of work. Unfortunately, their photo was done in poor enough lighting that I thought I was ordering a steel blue-gray background color. Instead, I received an off-white/beige/tans background color and print. This is not merely a “difference in monitors” issue at all. It is far enough off to actually be a completely different color, and browns and blues are completely different. I’m guessing they don’t actually have what I saw in the photo but I wish they did. Beige/Tans/browns I am not even attracted to and so this is a sad trip-up for me. But for those who like that color range, this fabric is gorgeous and high quality. They just need to correct this photo and not assume any old photo will do. This is not electronics or a toy. Colors are half the point when it comes to fabrics and clothing. Double check with them what the true colors are, and beware of ordering if you don’t get a quick response. People are often on Amazon for quickness in transaction and shipping. This said it was shipped from NY, so they could have sent it sooner than they did. Instead, it took a couple weeks and I am only one state away.

Absolutely stunning. What a luxurious fabric.
