The fabric shapes the pleat.

Our polyester gabardine has a fine diagonal weave and a smooth matte surface. It prints with vivid, true-to-life colour and gives every pleat crisp definition.

It is technically midweight, but its density and structure give it a substantial feel. This is the fabric for a rich silhouette and an especially dramatic stride.

Organza is light and sheer, with a crisp construction that holds volume beautifully. Its fine weave catches the light with a soft sheen without feeling heavy.

We use it when a design calls for airy layers, visible depth and a silhouette that feels playful but precise.

Satin twill is smooth and fluid, with a gentle lustre that makes printed colours appear rich and softly radiant. It feels lighter and silkier than gabardine while still holding a clear pleat.

It moves easily and has proven comfortable even in very warm weather, making it one of our most versatile fabrics.

Our polyester velvet has a short, soft pile and a mellow lustre. Its directional surface shifts from light to dark as the skirt moves, giving every fold unusual depth.

The result combines the geometry of a permanent pleat with the richness of velvet. It feels fluid rather than rigid, but is best enjoyed in cooler weather.

Our faux leather pairs a polyurethane face with a soft polyester backing. The backing makes it flexible enough to pleat and move, while the surface gives the finished skirt its bold, sculptural character.

It is less breathable than a woven fabric, so we recommend it for cooler days and occasions when you want the silhouette to command attention.
