Is voile the same as cotton?
No. Cotton names the fibre; voile names the cloth.
What types of cotton voile do you supply?
We supply plain and printed cotton voile. Other fibre blends are sourced to your brief.
Can we order voile fabric without finished garments?
Yes. We supply voile fabric on its own, by the metre, to garment makers.
Is voile the same as chiffon or organza?
No. Chiffon is a very lightweight, sheer plain weave made from fine, tightly twisted yarns. Organza uses filament yarns.
