Add timeless elegance to your next sewing project with this white taft fabric by the metre. Woven from 100% polyester in a classic plain weave, it has the subtle sheen and crisp, structured feel that make taft such a favourite for special garments. With a weight of 410 grams per metre and a width of 147 cm, this dressmaking fabric offers plenty of body and holds its shape beautifully.

A classic for formal sewing

This fabric is a great choice when you want clothing with a defined silhouette. It is not stretchy and stays firmly in shape, making it ideal for designs that need structure and volume. Think statement evening dresses, full skirts that rustle softly as you move, or a sharply cut blazer with clean lines. Its firm quality also makes it well suited to sharp pleats, draping and other tailored details.

Use it to sew a striking ball gown, a smart cocktail dress or an elegant pencil skirt for a special occasion. It is also versatile enough for decorative work, such as luxurious curtain fabric, glamorous cushions or a polished lining fabric for outerwear. If you like sewing with fabric by the metre that looks refined and feels substantial, this cotton fabric alternative in polyester delivers a smart, enduring finish.
