Silk Taffeta Stripes & Plaids

Taffeta originated in Persia. The name, derived from Persian, means "twisted woven." Silk Taffeta is a high end fabric, crisp and stiff with a slight sheen to it. Yarn dyed Taffeta is closely woven, lightweight Silk with a sheen and distinctive rustle. Due to its rich and luxurious feel and appearance, taffeta is used to make wedding gowns, evening dresses, prom dresses, jackets and other kinds of party wear. The stiffer variant of taffeta can also be used to make curtains as the fabric holds its shape when drawn together, thereby enhancing the aesthetics of a room.
