Thinner and containing less slubs than silk dupioni, Christmas Green Red Silk Shantung 54" Fabric has a crisp feel and lustrous finish. Although not as stiff as silk dupioni or silk taffeta, its heavy weight makes it versatile for many high-end fashion uses, such as wedding gowns, ball gowns, suits, and evening wear attire, as well as for home decorating uses, such as draperies and curtains. The fabric is sold by the Yard, and measures 54 inches in width.
