Taffeta, also referred to as 'paper' taffeta is a fine lustrous silk fabric with a crisp texture. Lightweight, it is perfect for the fuller styled skirts or dresses as it has better hold than other fabrics. Perfect for eveningwear. This animal print Silk Taffeta Devore has the added elegance of Velvet & Lurex to give it that extra holiday feel. Take a look at our wide Taffeta and Velvet fabrics for more inspiration.
