Name: Fabric Ref 2176 - Floral Cheesecloth Cotton - The Emperor's Old Clothes
Availability: InStock

FABRIC INFO

This fabric is a very light weight cotton double layer gauze cheesecloth. It is a versatile fabric which can be used to create lots of different garment types and give garments a super light weight and drapey feel

This fabric is especially drapey and has lots of movement for more floaty silhouettes. It works well across many our designs. In particular this fabric works well with garments such as dresses, skirts and tops. Trousers, coats and jackets would be on the lighter weight side and may need lining depending on the garment type you choose – see “our recommendations” tab

If you would like more help from our team whilst designing your garment please contact us by messaging us on Instagram, emailing us at info@theemperorsoldclothes.co.uk or send us a message via live chat and we will get back to you. Please note that design your own orders are non-refundable so if you are unsure about anything, or have any other questions about this fabric please contact us first before placing your order here
