New Romance Fabric
We are so excited to share that we have finally made it possible for our customers to custom print onto rayon fabric! The newest addition to our range of stock fabrics is sure to become a favourite – time to meet our NEW Romance fabric!
This wonderfully soft fabric is lightweight (100GSM) and made from 100% rayon fibres. Romance has a fine satin weave with a smooth texture, and has a maximum printable width of 140 cm.
Romance has a white base with a touch of warmth and a gorgeously subtle sheen to it’s finish, providing good-strength colour reproduction when printing.
Romance has good washability, meaning that the colours won’t wash out too quickly from wash and wear. As always, we recommend hand-washing to best preserve the longevity of your custom printed fabric. Due to the fabric’s fine weave we recommend to hand-wash only in maximum temperatures of 40 degrees, do not tumble dry and iron on low setting on the reverse side of the print.
Top sample shows colours before washing, middle sample has been hand-washed according to our care instructions, bottom sample shows colour fade after standard machine cycle.

Please keep in mind that Romance will shrink a little after a washing, with expected shrinkage being 1.7% in the width (weft) of the fabric and 7.5% in the length (warp) of the fabric.
This fabric’s fine weave, good drape and finish makes it a fantastic choice for fashion projects! We think it’s ideal for dresses, women’s blouses, scarves, long summer tunics, sarongs, bandanas and pocket squares.
Sample swatches of the Romance are available in either our ‘Natural Fabrics’ or ‘Super Pack’ fabric sample packs which can be ordered online. Want to know if the Romance fabric will suit your upcoming project? Get in touch! We’d love to know more and offer some recommendations.
