Description
Iridescent silk taffeta fabric is 100% silk and 58/60" wide. Silk taffeta is a lustrous everlasting fabric that is tightly woven with fine crosswise ribs made of silk fibers. This process allows the taffeta to have a matte look, yet a beautiful sheen under light. In addition, this silk taffeta is composed of two different colors, showcasing a beautiful iridescent color effect.
Iridescent silk taffeta is a strong, medium-weight fabric with an elegant drape. This fabric features a smooth surface that has no slubs on it and is crisp to the touch. This fabric also holds its shape very well and is perfect for creating spectacular garments that take advantage of the silk's sheen and crispness. Silk taffeta's luxurious look works wonderfully with costumes, dresses, suits and much more.

Lovely but softer than expected.
I picked the iridescent silver/black fabric for an 18th century quilted petticoat and couldn't be more pleased with the results. It's a lovely, lustrous grey shade of fabric, and the light weight and softness did very very well being embroidered and supported by the batting and lining. Needle (and basting) scarring was minimal, and the fabric didn't develop runs at all the way some do. That said, this taffeta is VERY lightweight, and quite soft. I would not recommend using it for anything that really requires taffeta's crisp properties to work. It's too light for a dress or skirt but could do well as a light blouse. Or quilted.
Beautiful Fabric
The silk taffeta is lovely. The color is beautiful and exactly what I wanted. I can't wait to start sewing with it.

This is wonderful, fun material i'm using to make a pair of baggy cargo pants with large pockets, a drawstring parachute closure lock on the waist and leg bottoms. Still waiting for the chunky zipper in the mail to finish. Pictures to follow !
