Polyester Duchess Satin (148cms/58") – Contessa
Description
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.

I made my daughter's 2-piece wedding dress using Majestic for the flowing bias-cut skirt and train, and Contessa to give the crop top a degree of structure. The two complemented each other perfectly. Contessa is easy to handle, cut, sew and iron; and looks far richer than its price would suggest.

I love working with this fabric, I use it for both my bridal and red carpet work....... It sews like a dream in both tailoring and flu and presses beautifully without leaving any iron or water marks ... I would highly recommend

I made a tea length 'Audrey Hepburn' inspired dress last year and Contessa was beautiful to work with and my client was thrilled with the dress
