Floss Satin Square-Weave Jacquard Fabric
Floss Satin Square-Weave Jacquard Fabric is a Türkiye-made rayon-viscose jacquard with a subtle satin motif woven over a square-weave ground. The fabric is 240 GSM, 143 cm wide, and made from 54% viscose and 46% rayon, giving it opaque coverage, a soft hand, and a more structured drape than lightweight printed fabrics.
The current range includes Mozaic, Splash Brick, and Flower Brick designs in sand beige, sage green, formal black, and soft taupe colourways. The surface is smoother than a deeply embossed jacquard, but the satin-on-matte contrast gives visible texture when the cloth catches the light.
Use it for jacquard dresses, tailored skirts, structured blouses, abaya-style layers, and polished separates where you want a refined woven pattern without strong shine.
Order a swatch before production to check colour, sheen, opacity, drape, and motif scale in your own lighting.

What buyers ask before ordering
What makes Floss Satin Square-Weave Jacquard different from a printed fabric?
The Mozaic, Splash Brick and Flower Brick motifs are woven into the cloth rather than printed on the surface. The floss satin thread gives the motif a subtle sheen against the matte square-weave ground.
Is the jacquard texture raised or smooth?
It has a woven tonal jacquard texture, but it is smoother than a deeply embossed fabric. The visual effect comes mainly from satin-on-matte contrast rather than heavy raised relief.
Is this fabric opaque enough for modestwear pieces?
Yes. The product is listed as opaque, so it is suitable for abayas, skirts, blouses and polished separates where see-through transparency is not wanted. Lining can still be added for comfort, structure or finishing.
Does this fabric stretch?
No. It is a non-stretch woven jacquard, so use patterns drafted for stable woven fabrics and include the right ease, closures and seam allowance.
What garments is this 240 GSM fabric best for?
At 240 GSM, it works best for garments that need more body than a lightweight rayon, such as jacquard dresses, tailored skirts, structured blouses, polished separates and abaya-style layers.
How does the fabric drape if it is 240 GSM?
The rayon-viscose blend gives it a soft hand and fluid drape, while the square-weave jacquard structure adds enough body to help the garment hold a cleaner shape.
Which design names are available in this fabric?
The current design range includes Mozaic, Splash Brick and Flower Brick, all on the same rayon-viscose jacquard base.
Which color names are available?
The stored variant color names are Sand Beige, Sage Green, Formal Black and Soft Taupe. Each appears across the Mozaic, Splash Brick and Flower Brick design groups.
Can I use this for an abaya that should look textured but not shiny all over?
Yes. The sheen is subtle and sits in the woven motif, while the square-weave ground stays more matte. That makes it suitable when you want refined texture without full-surface shine.
Is this better for structured or very fluid silhouettes?
It is better for structured-fluid silhouettes: pieces that should drape but still keep some shape. It is not the best choice when you need chiffon-like float or a very limp drape.
How much fabric should I consider for a dress or abaya?
The stored meter guide uses 5 meters as a starting point for a dress, abaya or layered garment, depending on design, size, sleeves and pattern layout. Always confirm final meterage with your pattern.
Can I order one meter just to test the fabric?
Yes. The meter guide lists 1 meter for sampling, trims or small panels, and a swatch is recommended before buying larger yardage.
Is this suitable for a boutique collection with multiple coordinated looks?
Yes. Because the three motifs share the same base fabric, width, weight and hand feel, you can build coordinated pieces while changing only the motif and colorway.
What should I test before cutting this jacquard?
Test pressing, seam handling, drape, lining choice and motif placement on a swatch first. The satin-on-matte motif can look different depending on light direction and garment angle.
Where is this fabric made and what is the composition?
This fabric is made in Türkiye from 54% viscose and 46% rayon. It is 143 cm wide and listed at 240 GSM.
Before cutting or sewing this satin square-weave jacquard, test a swatch for washing, steaming, pressing, sheen and texture response. Jacquard texture and satin sheen can react to heat and pressure, so handle the surface carefully.
- Test first Test washing, steaming and pressing on a small piece before working with the full fabric.
- Edges Finish raw edges before pre-washing or handling, because woven jacquard edges can fray.
- Wash Use cold gentle handling or dry clean if you want the safest route for the finished garment.
- Dry Do not tumble dry. Air dry gently in shade and avoid strong wringing.
- Iron Press from the reverse side with a pressing cloth, using low heat and light pressure.
- Cutting Let the fabric relax flat and keep the square-weave pattern aligned before cutting.
General care guidance only. Results may vary by colour, jacquard texture, steam, water quality and garment construction.
Compare to Crepe
Crepe is the default fabric in modest fashion because of its soft, body-skimming drape and matte finish — but that texture comes from twisted yarns, not a woven pattern, so the color is flat with no surface design unless it's printed on top.
This fabric is better when
- Has a pattern woven into the cloth itself, with a floss satin thread giving it a subtle sheen, so it reads as distinctive without needing a print or embellishment
- Holds tailored silhouettes — fitted skirts, structured dresses — better thanks to its 240 GSM weight and jacquard construction
- The design is part of the weave structure, so it won't crack, fade, or peel the way a printed surface design can over time
Crepe is better when
- Crepe drapes closer to the body and is generally lighter, better suited to ultra-fluid, body-skimming silhouettes
- As a commodity fabric, crepe is typically cheaper for high-volume basics and everyday production runs
Compare to Chiffon
Chiffon is sheer, airy, and built for movement — it almost always needs a separate lining layer for modest coverage. This jacquard is opaque and structured on its own.
This fabric is better when
- Opaque without needing a separate lining layer, which simplifies construction for abayas, kaftans, and modest dresses
- Has enough body to hold tailored shapes rather than floating loosely, useful for structured garments
- The woven pattern won't fade or crack the way some printed chiffons can with wear and washing
Chiffon is better when
- Chiffon is significantly lighter and more breathable, better suited to hot-climate, ultra-flowy overlays and eveningwear
- Layered chiffon creates volume effects — tiered skirts, floating sleeves — that a structured jacquard can't replicate
Compare to Brocade
Brocade also has a woven pattern, but it's typically built with supplementary metallic or contrast threads creating a pronounced raised surface, making it heavier, stiffer, and usually not clean-finished on the reverse side.
This fabric is better when
- Lighter at 240 GSM with a softer rayon-viscose hand and only a minimal, hand-felt texture, making it easier to sew and wear for everyday dresses and modest-wear rather than strictly formalwear
- More versatile across garment types — dresses, blouses, abayas, skirts — where heavy brocade can feel overly formal or stiff
- More breathable, since brocade's denser construction and metallic threads trap more heat
Brocade is better when
- Brocade typically has a more pronounced, raised 3D texture with metallic detailing, suited to formal eveningwear, bridal, and upholstery
- Brocade tends to hold sharper, more rigid structure for corsetry or heavily structured jackets
