Moroccan Embossed Rayon Viscose Jacquard Fabric
Moroccan Embossed Rayon Viscose Jacquard Fabric is a midweight woven fabric with raised Moroccan-inspired motifs and a soft, fluid hand. The fabric has the look of an elevated jacquard while staying wearable for abayas, kaftans, dresses, blouses, tunics, long skirts, and refined modestwear pieces.
Made from 60% rayon, 36% viscose, and 4% polyester, it has a smooth drape, opaque coverage, and a textured woven surface that gives depth without feeling overly heavy.
At 200 GSM and 148 cm wide, it sits in a balanced garment-weight range: structured enough for elegant silhouettes, yet fluid enough for movement.
Use it when you want a fabric that feels more special than a plain solid or a flat print, but still practical for cutting, sewing, and finished garments.

What buyers ask before ordering
What is Moroccan Embossed Rayon Viscose Jacquard Fabric best used for?
It is best for kaftans, abayas, dresses, blouses and tailored pieces where raised woven texture and multicolor motif detail are wanted.
Is the motif printed or woven?
The motif is woven into the cloth as jacquard, so the pattern is part of the fabric structure rather than a flat surface print.
Is the texture actually raised?
Yes. The product is an embossed jacquard, so the motif areas have a raised woven texture that can be felt.
Is this fabric opaque?
Yes. It is listed as opaque, so it provides more coverage than sheer or semi-sheer fabrics.
Does this fabric stretch?
No. It is a non-stretch woven jacquard, so patterns should be drafted for stable woven fabric.
How heavy and wide is this fabric?
It is 200 GSM and 148 cm wide, giving it enough body for structured-fluid garments without being a very heavy upholstery-style jacquard.
What is the composition?
The stored composition is 60% rayon, 36% viscose and 4% polyester.
Which motif names are available?
The stored motif directions include Leaf, Rose and Flower.
Can I use this for an abaya or kaftan?
Yes. The opaque coverage, rayon-viscose hand and raised motif make it suitable for abayas, kaftans and modestwear pieces that need visible texture.
Can I use it for tailored garments?
Yes. At 200 GSM with a non-stretch woven structure, it can support tailored dresses and blouses as well as relaxed abaya or kaftan shapes.
How is it different from flat Moroccan-print fabric?
A flat print applies color to the surface. This fabric uses a woven jacquard structure, so the motif has texture and depth.
Should I line this fabric?
Lining depends on garment style and comfort preference. The fabric is listed as opaque, so lining is usually a design or finishing choice rather than a basic transparency requirement.
What should I test before cutting?
Test pressing, seam handling, drape, motif placement and colorway on a swatch before cutting final yardage.
How should I press raised jacquard texture?
Use low heat from the reverse side with a pressing cloth and avoid flattening the raised motif with direct high heat or heavy pressure.
Can boutiques use this for a coordinated collection?
Yes. Leaf, Rose and Flower motifs share the same base fabric and weight, so a collection can vary motif while keeping the same fabric behavior.
Before cutting or sewing this embossed rayon-viscose jacquard, test a swatch for washing, steaming, pressing, colour handling and shrinkage. The raised jacquard texture should be protected from heavy heat and pressure.
- Test first Test a small piece before washing, steaming, pressing or cutting the full fabric.
- Texture Avoid flattening the embossed jacquard by using light pressure when pressing.
- 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 on low heat with a pressing cloth.
- Cutting Let the fabric relax flat before cutting and allow extra margin for pattern placement.
General care guidance only. Results may vary by colour, raised texture, steam, water quality and garment construction.
Compare to Printed Moroccan-Pattern Fabric
Printed fabrics apply the Moroccan-style motif as surface color on a flat weave — visually similar from a distance, but smooth to the touch regardless of the pattern.
This fabric is better when
- The motif is woven into the structure, so it's genuinely raised and texturally distinct — customers feel the difference, not just see it
- Won't crack, fade, or peel at the surface over time the way a printed design can with washing and wear
- Reads as more premium in person and in close-up photography due to the dimensional thread work
Printed Moroccan-Pattern Fabric is better when
- Printed fabric is typically cheaper to produce, since there's no jacquard loom setup involved
- Printed designs can be more intricate or photorealistic than what a jacquard weave can achieve
Compare to Embroidered Fabric
Embroidery adds thread motifs as a separate post-weaving process, usually by hand or machine stitching on top of a base fabric — a different construction method that achieves a related raised-texture effect.
This fabric is better when
- Significantly more affordable, since the raised motif is woven in during manufacturing rather than added as a separate labor-intensive process
- More consistent and durable in wash and wear, with no loose threads or embroidery unraveling at the edges
- Faster to source and restock at scale, since it doesn't depend on embroidery production capacity
Embroidered Fabric is better when
- Embroidery can achieve more intricate, asymmetric, or placement-specific designs than a repeating jacquard motif
- Embroidered fabric often reads as more bespoke or one-of-a-kind for bridal and high-formal pieces
Compare to Plain Crepe
Crepe is the modest-fashion default for its soft, body-skimming drape — but it's a flat, solid-color fabric with no woven surface design.
This fabric is better when
- Has an actual dimensional motif woven into the cloth, giving visual and tactile interest a solid crepe simply doesn't have
- Comes in three distinct motifs and multiple colorways, supporting a coordinated multi-piece collection rather than one flat color
- More structure and opacity at 200 GSM, useful for pieces that need to hold a shape rather than skim the body
Plain Crepe is better when
- Crepe is lighter and drapes closer to the body, better for ultra-fluid, minimal-structure silhouettes
- As a commodity fabric, crepe is typically more affordable for high-volume basic production
