Lining fabric provides garments with structural support

Lining fabric provides garments with structural support while hiding seams and construction, making putting on easier. Linings may be made from silk, satin cotton or polyester ranging in transparency from sheer to opaque and can even include printed jacquard fabrics or designer signature fabrics that add fun and style. Finding the appropriate lining fabric may prove daunting at first, but by understanding basic lining fabric basics you're sure to find a match for your project!

Rayon is a man-made fiber created by heating and spinning cellulose. As an extremely versatile fabric, rayon can be found in dresses, skirts, jackets, coats and even pajamas - it makes a great machine-washable choice and comes in various colors and weights. Rayon fabric features parallel threads rather than perpendicular ones which allows it to stretch more than other woven materials like cotton or silk without reaching spandex-level stretchiness.

At its heart, rayon stands out as an effective lining material due to its breathability. We all lose water throughout our daily activities through breathing; when this moisture builds up under an outer garment and gets trapped underneath, you may end up feeling hot and uncomfortable. Linings that breathe can help alleviate this by releasing excess moisture through their fabric's fibers; rayon can do this thanks to its crystalline structure which absorbs and releases it before becoming damp or wet again.

Other aspects to keep in mind when choosing a lining include material, color and stretch of the fabric. Silk or satin may be preferable for delicate materials like lightweight silks and satins while cotton works better in warmer climates or for heavier fabrics like heavier cotton fabrics or warm weather apparel. When pairing stretchy outer fabrics such as jersey or tulle with stretchy inner fabrics such as jersey linings.

Bemberg fabric is commonly used by some of the world's top suit manufacturers. Cupro, also known as bemberg linings, offers unique comfort properties that set it apart from cotton and silk alternatives. Cupro is an exceptionally comfortable fabric that's both naturally soft and breathable; yet also highly wicking and has exceptional heat-releasing abilities. Cupro absorbs moisture at an amazing 11 rate compared to polyester's 0.4 or silk's 8.5 absorption rates. Cupro's fibers have an irregular, round shape which contributes to its luxurious softness against your skin, and won't cling to fabric surfaces like other textiles would. Furthermore, cupro contains anti-static properties which will help eliminate static electricity that attracts pollen or other unwanted particles onto clothing surfaces.
