Sewing and care
Check the actual usable width and pattern layout before ordering; size, garment length, sleeves, fullness and grain direction affect metre requirements. Keep directional surfaces consistently oriented. Test stitching and pressing on a scrap. Use low synthetic heat, a pressing cloth and reverse-side pressing where suitable.
Test a swatch for colourfastness, finish stability and shrinkage before laundering or cutting full quantities. Cool gentle washing, shaded air drying and low-temperature pressing are general starting points, not a verified mill-specific care label. Follow the finished garment label and account for trims and linings.

What buyers ask before ordering
What are the fabric specifications?
This South Korean 100% polyester woven fabric is 150 GSM, 150 cm wide and non-stretch. Fabric mass per metre is approximately 225 g.
Does the fabric stretch?
No. Use patterns designed for non-stretch woven fabric, with suitable ease and closures.
How much fabric should I order?
Use the pattern layout for the actual usable 150 cm width. Size, length, fullness, sleeves and grain direction affect metre requirements; estimate from your cutting plan.
Is the fabric opaque?
The product specification is opaque. Check a swatch, especially pale colours, under the intended lighting and decide whether lining is needed.
How should I care for it?
Test a swatch for colourfastness, shrinkage and finish stability. Cool gentle washing and low-heat reverse pressing are general starting points, not a verified mill care label; follow the finished garment instructions.
How does Ramada compare with WoolPeach and Kenzo?
Ramada is 150 GSM, between 130 GSM WoolPeach and 230 GSM Kenzo. Its 225 g-per-metre mass is based on 150 cm width. Choose the surface and drape from a swatch, not GSM alone.
Is Ramada glossy satin?
No. The recorded surface is a finely grained, softly flowing crepe with a low-sheen matte finish, not a glossy satin face.
Can I use Ramada for a fitted abaya without stretch?
Use a pattern drafted for non-stretch woven cloth. Allow appropriate wearing ease and any needed openings or closures; do not rely on elastic recovery for movement.
How can I keep flowing crepe from shifting while cutting?
Support the whole fabric on the table instead of letting it hang and pull the grain. Test a single-layer layout, sharp cutting tools and pins within seam allowances on a scrap before cutting the garment.
What should I test if seams pucker on this flowing crepe?
Use a fresh suitable needle and test thread tension, stitch length and feeding on a useful-sized scrap. Avoid pulling the cloth. Puckering has several causes, so change one setting at a time rather than assuming one universal fix.
Which needle should I start testing with?
Trial a sharp or Microtex/universal needle suitable for this 150 GSM polyester woven and the chosen thread. Check for skipped stitches, visible holes and puckering; the best size depends on the actual layers and machine.
How can I finish the cut edges neatly?
Test whether the actual cut edge frays, then choose an appropriate overlocked, enclosed or bound finish. Check seam bulk and appearance through the face before using the finish throughout the garment.
How do I avoid pressing marks on flowing crepe?
Start on a scrap at low synthetic heat, from the reverse and through a pressing cloth. Check the surface after cooling. Do not assume a high-temperature steam setting is safe or that shine can be restored after damage.
Will interfacing change the drape?
It can. Trial a lightweight compatible interfacing or a sew-in alternative on the actual cloth and compare the result. Check adhesion, strike-through, stiffness and heat effects before committing to collars, cuffs or waistbands.
How can I choose a shade reliably from the photos?
Use the named colour and its six photographs as a guide, but screens and lighting can change perceived colour. Check a physical swatch for the intended outfit and lighting; no exact screen-to-fabric colour match is guaranteed.
Treat this 150 GSM, 150 cm wide fabric as a soft, non-stretch woven. Test washing, stitch quality and pressing on a swatch before cutting production yardage.
- Cutting Support the fabric, align grain lines and plan around usable width and selvages.
- Needle Start with a suitable sharp or universal/Microtex needle for lightweight woven polyester; test on an offcut.
- Seams Test tension and stitch length, and finish cut edges if your sample frays.
- Ease Allow normal wearing ease and closures because the fabric is not elastic.
- Pressing Use low heat on the reverse with a pressing cloth to protect the matte face.
Sewing recommendations are starting points; confirm them on the actual fabric.
