Polyester Moire Fabric is characterized by its rippled, glossy appearance and silky smooth texture. Its watery appearance comes from the calendering process, whereby the fabric is folded and pressed with hot rollers to create its gorgeously polished sheen. Moire fabric is traditionally made from silk. When made from polyester, however, it offers outstanding durability, insulation and wrinkle resistance. Moire Fabric is perfect for crafting luxurious gowns, blouses and skirts.
