Contessa is a Polyester Matt Duchess Satin, measuring 148 cm (58") wide, that weighs 288g­/sqm and is available in a range of 20 colours. This fabric is woven and dyed in Japan and is made from twisted yarns, which result in a highly dense weave and a “non snag” performance. Contessa has a firm handle and a very rich appearance. It is perfect for corsets, waistcoats and full gowns as it maintains its shape during wear. A shade card is available for purchase.

We also offer an alternative but similar fabric as Flamenco.

Contessa is suitable for either 30 degree washing or dry cleaning.
