Your designs just got a choco-lot sweeter with this chocolate brown silk. China Silk, also known as Habotai, is a lightweight delicacy, often used as a lining to elevate sophisticated garments. With its smooth, cool hand and fluid, airy drape, this silk is perfect for soft gathers, gentle folds, and layered silhouettes. Lightweight and translucent, it lends itself beautifully to romantic blouses, flowing skirts, whisper-soft co-ord sets, and slip-style dresses. Sheer by nature, we recommend adding a lining or pairing it with complementary layers for additional coverage.

A tip from our sewists: this slippery fabric becomes less daunting to sew when using pattern weights, sharp rotary blades, sharp needles, silk pins, and French seams. Get stitching!
