Stretch Clothing Suede Fabric for Dresses, Jackets, Tops, Accessories, Cushions & Interior Décor
Stretch Clothing Suede Fabric is a soft, flexible fashion fabric made from 90% polyester and 10% elastane, combining a smooth suede-like surface with useful stretch, comfort and drape. Supplied in a practical 150cm width and weighing approximately 280gsm, it is suitable for dresses, jackets, tops, fitted garments, accessories and selected interior projects. Available by the metre, it is a versatile choice for both professional garment making and creative DIY applications.
The elastane content gives the fabric good flexibility and recovery, while the polyester base helps provide a stable, easy-to-handle construction. Its soft-touch suede-style finish creates an elegant appearance without the stiffness of traditional suede, making it particularly useful for garments that need to move comfortably with the wearer. The medium 280gsm weight also gives the fabric enough substance for structured fashion pieces, bags, cushions and decorative interior applications.
