Lining Fabric

Lining Fabric is an important component of many garments. A polyester or silk fabric is generally used for lining, although some garments do well with a cotton lining. Cold weather coats and jackets are sometimes lined with a warm fleece or flannel.

Habutae and Satin make great linings. Special Lining material is sold for draperies; some types provide thermal protection to keep the room cool and conserve energy.

Quality Cotton Broadcloth is excellent when Cotton Linings are desired. Polyester Fleece can be an appropriate lining for coats. Cotton Flannel is also an option when you want the lining to add warmth to the garment.

While the lining is seldom seen, the choice of an appropriate inner fabric is just as important as the choice of your garment fabric. Linings help a garment lay flat and look lovely. Silky or Satin Linings help the garment glide over your body for easy dressing. Heavy Linings add warmth and body to coats and jackets.

The lining and the apparel material ideally should have the same care requirements. If your Apparel Fabric can be washed, but your Lining must be dry-cleaned, you will have to always dry-clean the finished item and of course, the same requirements apply to the combination of a dry-clean only Apparel material and a washable Lining.
