Voile is a lightweight and transparent fabric most often made from cotton or a cotton blend. Usually available in solid colors it can also be found with embroidery or patterns that are soft and romantic.
Lightweight, sheer voile fabric is often used for summer dresses and skirts for women and children. The gauzy, natural fabric is cool during the hot summer months. And the flowy fabric is perfect for little girls who love skirts that twirl! Used as a liner under other fabrics, voile will add body and volume to any outfit.
Voile is a very versatile fabric for use in window treatments. Consider draping the fabric over a rod in a baby’s nursery to create a soft and soothing look. Adding voile sheers behind draperies not only softens the look in a master bedroom but will provide some privacy and light control. You can even use voile fabric as lightweight drapery panels during the summer months which will make a room feel cool and relaxing.
Voile fabric is available in 118” widths making it the perfect choice for large decorating or entertaining projects. White voile fabric is often used as a liner on the interior of a large tent for weddings or parties. It creates a soft and elegant look and can easily be draped around awkward spaces. The wider width also makes it a good choice as a liner for window treatments that are covering a large area such as very high or wide windows and doors.
