Dupioni is a plainweave, crisp fabric with heavy slubbing. The slubbing is formed by thick and thin yarns going on the weft. It has a tight weave and a lustrous surface. It is best for formalwear and home decor.

Shantung is also a crisp fabric, but the slubbing is much lighter. It is sort of a cross between a taffeta and dupioni. It is also best for formalwear and home decor.

Taffeta fabric is a crisp woven fabric that falls away from the body, making it great for ball gowns and skirts. It is crisp and "swishes" when rubbed together. Sometimes it is woven with more than one color creating a two-tone or iridescent effect. 

All varieties can be made from silk or polyester. We recommend dry cleaning these fabric types to keep the integrity of the material.
