Lightweight Lyocell Jacquard Fabric
Lightweight Lyocell Jacquard Fabric is a semi-sheer woven fabric with tonal crinkle texture, soft lustre and an airy drape. The subtle jacquard surface gives dressmakers a refined textured fabric that reads polished in close-up and delicate in motion without relying on a printed surface.
Use it for occasion dresses, kaftans, blouses, skirts, overlay layers, resort pieces and fluid covered silhouettes where gentle texture and light movement matter. Because the fabric is lightweight and semi-sheer, test a swatch over the intended lining or underlayer before cutting, especially in Soft Beige and Butter Yellow.

What buyers ask before ordering
What is Lightweight Tencel Jacquard Fabric used for?
It is used for garments that need woven texture, low bulk and visible drape, including occasion dresses, kaftans, blouses, skirts, overlay layers and abayas.
Is this fabric sheer?
It is listed as semi-sheer, so lining is recommended when full coverage is needed, especially for lighter colorways or fitted garments.
What is the composition?
The stored composition is 77% Tencel and 23% polyamide.
How heavy and wide is it?
It is 91 GSM and 145 cm wide, making it one of the lighter woven jacquard fabrics in the active collection.
Does this fabric stretch?
No. It should be treated as non-stretch and used with patterns that include ease, drape or closures.
Is the jacquard pattern printed or woven?
The pattern is woven into the fabric as a jacquard texture rather than printed on the surface.
Which colors are available?
The stored color names include Sage Green, Soft Beige and Butter Yellow.
Can I use it as a main fabric?
It can be used as a main fabric when the garment is lined or designed with an underlayer. Without lining, it is better as an overlay or decorative layer.
Is 91 GSM too light for a dress?
It is very lightweight, so it is best for soft dresses, overlays, kaftans and blouse layers rather than structured gowns.
How does it compare with crepe?
Crepe gives stronger coverage and cleaner structure. This lightweight Tencel jacquard gives more airy movement and a visible woven texture.
How does it compare with chiffon?
Chiffon is usually chosen for maximum float and transparency. This fabric is still light, but it adds woven jacquard texture to the surface.
Is it suitable for warm weather?
The 91 GSM weight makes it suitable for warm-weather layering and loose silhouettes, with comfort depending on lining choice and garment fullness.
What should I test before sewing?
Test seams, pressing, lining, opacity and handling on a swatch because lightweight semi-sheer fabrics can shift or show handling marks.
Can boutiques use this for small production?
Yes. It can be used for boutique capsule pieces and sample runs, especially when yardage is planned from the same batch for color consistency.
What search terms match this fabric?
Search for lightweight Tencel jacquard fabric, semi-sheer jacquard fabric, textured dress fabric by the meter, or the selected color name.

Before cutting or sewing this lightweight Tencel-blend jacquard, test a swatch for washing, steaming, pressing, colour handling and shrinkage. The fabric is very light and semi-sheer, so check lining and opacity before production.
- Test first Test a swatch before washing, steaming, pressing or cutting the full fabric.
- Opacity Check each colourway over the intended lining or underlayer, especially Soft Beige and Butter Yellow.
- Wash Use cold gentle handling or dry clean if you want the safest route for a 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 and movement.
General care guidance only. Results may vary by colour, lining, steam, water quality and garment construction.

This fabric is better when
- Lightweight Tencel jacquard wins when the look should be soft, subtle, and less glossy than satin jacquard.
