EMERALD GREEN TAFFETA – POLYESTER FABRIC – 150cm WIDE

A beautiful emerald green taffeta with a wonderfully lustrous surface and rich colour that changes character as the fabric catches the light.

The smooth woven surface reflects the light beautifully, moving from fresh jewel-like emerald and aqua-green tones through to much deeper green in the folds and shadows. This gives the fabric plenty of depth and makes it particularly striking when gathered, pleated or used in designs with volume.

With the classic crisp handle and structured drape of taffeta, this is a lovely choice for occasionwear, costumes and statement sewing projects where you want the fabric to hold its shape.
