Contessa is a Polyester Matt Duchess Satin, measuring 148cms (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.

We do our very best to ensure that the colour of the actual fabric is well represented on screen but with a variety monitors, there are always differences. We recommend ordering swatches to check the colour prior to ordering.
