Silk habotai, also called “China silk”, is our favorite lining fabric. It is extremely lightweight, strong, and breathable. While similar in weight, silk habotai is less slippery than rayon bemberg lining, making it easier to work with. This silk habotai has a beautiful border print, making it a great option for simple, lightweight blouses, dresses, and skirts. If you use this for a garment, be sure to consider using a lining, as this fabric is quite sheer.
Wondering what “deadstock” means? Deadstock fabrics are left over from garment factories and textile mills. Instead of ending up in a landfill, this fabric comes to us! It can be a more sustainable option than newly manufactured fabrics and it’s a great way to get interesting garment fabrics (sometimes even designer pieces!).
