Plain viscose from £5.95 a metre — fluid, cool and soft in solid colours, for dresses, blouses and linings.
Working with woven viscose versus viscose knit
Viscose is a fibre made from regenerated cellulose, prized by dressmakers for its soft feel, natural breathability, and fluid drape. It hangs smoothly against the body without stiffness, making it comfortable to wear for everyday clothing.
In this category, options include woven 100% viscose fabric as well as viscose knit. Woven viscose has no built-in stretch, making it well suited to loose-fitting garments, gathered skirts, and blouses that rely on drape rather than elasticity. A viscose knit, on the other hand, provides flexibility from its knitted loops, making it suitable for pieces that require stretch.
Planning your makes around fabric width
Many of the 100% viscose fabrics here are supplied at a width of 59 inches (150cm). This generous width simplifies pattern layout, allowing you to cut wider garment pieces—such as flared dress panels, wide-leg trousers, or bias cuts—with fewer joins and less offcut waste.
Solid colours remove the need for pattern matching across seams, letting you focus entirely on your garment construction. The plain selection includes shades such as light yellow and purple, ready for dressmaking, everyday garments, and other crafty projects.
