Embroidered Fabrics
Embroidered Fabrics
Embroidered fabrics are textiles decorated with threads that create patterns, motifs and sometimes raised details across the surface of the fabric. Embroidery can range from delicate, subtle designs to more elaborate and striking decorative effects.
At Ribes & Casals, you can buy embroidered fabric by the metre in a variety of fabric bases, fibre compositions, colours and styles for dresses, blouses, skirts, occasionwear, children's clothing, accessories and special sewing projects.
What is embroidered fabric?
Embroidered fabric is a textile onto which threads are applied to create decorative motifs. Depending on the embroidery technique, thread thickness and design, the finished effect may be flat or slightly raised.
The base fabric can vary considerably. This collection may include embroidery on tulle, cotton, chiffon, organza and other fabrics, each with its own drape, transparency and structure.
Types of embroidered fabric
Embroidered fabrics are available in a wide range of styles, including:
- Floral embroidery
- Geometric designs
- Decorative and fantasy embroidery
- Children's motifs
- Classic and ornamental designs
- Embroidered tulle
- Embroidered cotton fabric
- Multicoloured embroidery and special thread effects
The size, density and placement of the embroidery can vary greatly from one fabric to another, creating very different finished looks.
Embroidered fabric for dresses and occasionwear
Embroidered fabric for dresses is particularly suited to garments where the fabric design is intended to be a focal point. It can be used for evening dresses, occasionwear, skirts, bodices, sleeves and decorative garment details.
Depending on the transparency and structure of the base fabric, some embroidered fabrics may require a lining.
Embroidered fabric for blouses and dressmaking
Lighter embroidered fabrics are also ideal for blouses, shirts, tops, children's clothing and accessories. The embroidery adds texture and decorative detail without the need for additional embellishment.
Embroidery on different fabric bases
This collection brings together fabrics that all feature embroidery, although the underlying fabric can vary considerably. Embroidered tulle may be light and sheer, while embroidered cotton can provide more body and opacity.
Always check the individual product page for details of composition, width, weight, transparency, drape and other fabric characteristics.
