Voile is a soft, semi-sheer, lightly woven fabric with a crisp but airy hand, traditionally made from cotton. It breathes well in warm weather, and takes prints cleanly.
What is voile fabric used for?
It suits kurtis, dupattas, summer shirts, kidswear, scarves and layered tops.
How do I choose the right voile fabric?
Voile is see-through, so plan a lining or layering if you want opacity. Heavier voile suits kurtis and shirts, while the lightest suits scarves and dupattas.
How should I care for and sew voile fabric?
Cotton can usually be washed warm and ironed at a high setting. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, because cotton can shrink slightly the first time.
Is voile suitable for summer clothes?
Yes. Voile is light and breathable, which makes it a good fabric for summer kurtis, shirts, dupattas and kidswear. See our summer fabrics collection.
