Betty is an ex-designer (M&S) light-weight stretch viscose blend fabric that is very soft and drapes well.
Viscose has a silky appearance and feel and hangs beautifully making it an ideal dressmaking fabric. As viscose is made from natural fibres, a garment made from it will keep you cool on hot days and warm on cooler days.
The lycra content allows the fabric to stretch, making it comfortable to wear.
It is suitable for a wide range of dressmaking projects that require drape such as dresses, skirts, trousers, jumpsuits, lightweight jackets and blouses.
