FAQ

What are lining fabrics?

Lining fabrics are lightweight materials used to cover the inside of garments. They serve to hide internal seams, protect the outer fabric from wear, and make the garment easier to put on and take off by reducing friction.

How to choose lining fabric?

The choice depends on the weight and stretch of your outer fabric. Generally, you should choose a lining that is lighter than your main material. For winter coats, a heavier viscose or acetate twill is ideal, while for summer dresses, a light cotton or silk lining is preferred for breathability.

Can I use the same fabric for lining?

While "self-lining" is possible with very lightweight fabrics like chiffon or fine cotton, dedicated lining fabrics are usually preferred. This is because lining materials are specifically engineered to be smooth and anti-static, ensuring the garment does not "cling" to the body or the layers beneath it.

Why is viscose often used for lining?

Viscose is a preferred choice in luxury fashion because it is a breathable, cellulosic fibre that regulates temperature better than synthetic polyesters. It offers a silk-like lustre and a soft hand feel, making it comfortable for all-day wear.
