Taffeta

Taffeta is a high end material with impressive elegance. This woven synthetic fabric is crisp, smooth, and typically has a slight metallic shine. Some taffeta has intricate ornamentation woven on its surface, like vines, flowers, and other interweaving patterns. At Your Dressmaker, we make much of our medieval and Renaissance clothing from taffeta. This high quality fabric finds use in many of our Renaissance dresses and Baroque ball gowns, all carefully handmade with incredible attention to detail. We also use this fabric in accessories and in the trims of other historical garments. Order a swatch of our taffeta, and you can see and feel for yourself the artistry of this fine fabric. With a swatch in hand, you can get a real impression of it and better decide on the taffeta garment that is right for you. For care of this fabric, use cold washing and a gentle washing detergent, then hang to dry. Alternatively, use dry cleaning.
