Dress Fabric

Double Gauze is a lovely lightweight pure cotton fabric with a relatively loosely weave and a crinkled natural texture making it exceptionally breathable with a gorgeous soft handle.

As the name suggests the fabric is made up of 2 layers of fine cotton similar to a light cheese cloth or muslin that are tacked together. The double layer reduces the transparency of the cloth and gives it a thicker more tactile finish. Our cloth is 125gsm and ideal for clothes, childrens/baby items, quilts etc.
