Nice, multi-purpose satin

I bought this in white for a fancy cocktail dress and it turned out beautifully. I used the shiney side for the outside, and the crepe side for the lining.(Better to use a chiffon for the skirt lining to keep things light). The shiney side looks great, the crepe side is soft against the skin. Compaired to the cheap satins, this one is easy to work with just a little care on the sewer's part. I bought more to make a dramatic cape to match the dress and I was the "best dressed" that evening!

nice for evening clothes

I have been using this material, all colors. It is washable,with care--stains come out. Also, I use French seams on all good material, and it works well, so no fraying I--however I have been sewing since high school. Took one course of sewing and made a dinky apron. I got a bright Idea a@ 17 to start sewing, with no classes. A few years ago I found out that one of my ancestors owned a sewing business in Europe, so that is where I picked up the sewing talent, and my sewing is professional,

Poor quality

This fabric is not what it used to be. I used to purchase this fabric on a regular basis for evening wear and it actually had a "crepe" side and a "satin side". Since I use both the right and wrong sides of the fabric, this is important to me. Over the years, this product has changed and I can no longer use the "crepe" side, as it just looks like the wrong side of the fabric. The quality has changed drastically, even the shiny satin side looks cheap now. I would now only use this fabric for costumes.

Plan on buying again!

I made a skirt for my cousin's wedding out of this fabric, and it turned out beautifully. The drape is very nice. I did notice that it snagged a little bit, but it wasn't bad at all. I would highly recommend this fabric.

Not for Blouses or Extensive Wear

I purchased some white crepe back satin in-store to make a 40s style blouse. It was on sale, so I went with it. This was a BAD mistake. It frayed not only along unfinished seams, but also around the stitching itself (and I used the proper needle and weight thread). Even after applications of Fray-Check, it continued to fray where the bias ran diagonal to the stitches. Definitely not recommended for clothing beyond one-time wear, or even that. Previously I thought it might be a random thing when the bridesmaid dress I made out of blue casa crepe back satin frayed out on a seam in less than a day (and the seam was not a strained one). But apparently this was giving too much credit to the fabric. I will not be using this again.

Do Not Special Order

I ordered over 165 yards of this fabric for table covers for my daughter's wedding. The fabric is absolutely beautiful, however, the people who cut the fabric have no idea how to cut straight! I will never again special order from Jo-Ann. I e-mailed them twice with no response. I will only buy what the store has in stock from now on.

Wonderful fabric...will buy again!

I just bought 7 yds of ivory to make the hakama for my Lord Sesshomaru costume. I made it satin side in, crepe side out. This cloth is so buttery soft and drapible. I made wonderful pleats for my hakama. Love it!
