Order now to reserve your yardage; we cut and ship pre-orders in the order they were placed, as soon as it lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom independent French studio \u003cstrong\u003eMy Dress Made\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a warm ivory rather than a cold white — the difference matters. A stark optical white flattens skin; this one has enough softness in it to sit kindly against most complexions, and it reads as considered rather than clinical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crepe weave gives it a fine pebbled grain you can see close up and feel under the hand. That texture is what keeps a solid interesting: it catches light unevenly, so the fabric shows its own folds instead of going flat. At 140 g\/m² it has more body than most viscose crepes — enough to hold a gathered waist or a tie — while still falling in fluid, natural lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is \u003cstrong\u003eslightly transparent\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is worth planning around rather than being surprised by. A floaty blouse, a gathered top or a tie-back camisole is perfectly fine unlined. On a fitted bodice, a straight skirt or anything cut close, you will want a lining — My Dress Made recommend one for the skirt of a dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e colourway — produced in a single small run and never reprinted once sold out.

Use a fine universal or microtex needle (70\/10–80\/12) with a shorter stitch length, and cut single-layer with pattern weights; crepe shifts under the shears. Because it is semi-sheer, plan your inside finishes as carefully as your outside ones — French seams or bias binding, and avoid dark interfacing or facings that will shadow through. If you are lining a fitted piece, a lightweight ivory viscose or cupro will move with the fabric rather than fighting it. Pale fabric shows marking, so test any chalk or pen on a scrap first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🧺 Care Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine wash at 30°C. Iron at a moderate temperature, 150°C maximum. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Always pre-wash before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e❓ Frequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen will my order ship?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a pre-order. The fabric is expected to reach us by \u003cstrong\u003e30 September\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we cut and ship pre-orders in the order they were placed as soon as it arrives. If you order other items at the same time, the whole order ships together once the fabric is here — place a separate order if you need the rest sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it see-through?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a semi-sheer viscose crepe, so whether you'll want a lining depends on your garment: a slim-fitting bodice, a straight skirt or a fitted blouse will need one, while a flowy top, a gathered dress or anything with volume is usually fine unlined. My Dress Made specifically recommend lining the skirt of a dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat can I sew with this fabric?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlouses, shirts, camisoles and tie-back tops, wrap and gathered dresses, and wide-leg trousers. It is also the solid that anchors a printed fabric — pair it with a busy print for a top-and-bottom outfit that doesn't compete with itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much fabric do I need?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabric is sold by the half yard, cut in one continuous piece. A fitted top typically takes 2–3 half-yard units, a blouse or shirt 3–4, wide-leg trousers 5–6, and a midi dress 5–6 — order 4 units for 2 continuous yards. Add extra if you are lining it from the same fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it shrink?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — expect some. Viscose typically moves around 5% on the first wash, enough to change a fit noticeably. Pre-wash before cutting and wash it the way you intend to wash the finished garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it stay white?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like any pale garment: wash it separately or with like colours, avoid overloading the machine, and skip the tumble dryer entirely — heat is what yellows viscose over time. Line drying out of direct sun is kindest to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat needle and thread should I use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fine universal or microtex needle (70\/10–80\/12) with all-purpose polyester thread and a slightly shorter stitch length; test on a scrap first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it really limited edition?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — My Dress Made produces each colourway in a single small run and never reprints it. When our fabric sells out, this shade is gone for good. We stock it here in the US, so there are no import shipping, tariff, or customs processing fees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MY DRESS MADE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45975255285939,"sku":null,"price":11.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/5341\/8675\/files\/f2a9c5053a80e62cb55bf73ea5e31077c66bae8630fa1978be42726c1c4948f4.jpg?v=1788810990","url":"https:\/\/sewfabricobsessed.com\/products\/ivory-white-viscose-crepe-fabric-my-dress-made","provider":"Sew Fabric Obsessed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
