This light, drapey white modal fabric is woven in a twill weave, or serge – look closely at the face side and you’ll notice the faint diagonal ridge. Compared to classic, plain-weave dress fabric, this fine twill is stronger and has a nice sheen.
Like most of the modern rayon variants, this modal feels wonderful against the skin. It also has a cooling effect that is a real plus in warm weather.
Modal is a fine, soft fabric made entirely of natural material. It is a member of the rayon family that boasts vastly improved qualities. In terms of comfort it scores top marks – gentle on the skin and breathable, it wicks away moisture and helps keep you cool.
Modal’s production is more ecofriendly than that of ordinary rayon and even more than cotton; it is pesticide free and consumes far less water. Learn all about modal and other viscose-based fabrics in our post about rayon.
Modal is produced differently than ordinary rayon, giving it improved qualities:
Modal is a cellulose-based material, much like viscose or Lyocell, but of all the rayons, it comes closest to cotton and, in fact, modal and cotton blend very well.
However, compared to cotton, modal is finer and smoother with an almost silky feel. It also has more weight and better drape, making it look more elegant while also feeling less stiff than cotton.
This modal dress fabric is ideal for a range of sewing projects:
Proper care will lengthen the life of your fabric and keep colors vibrant.
We carefully select fabrics that meet our standards for quality, origin, and processing. Here is what you can expect from us:
👉 So you know exactly what you are buying, and you can count on seeing the result in your sewing.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
The minimum fabric order is a length of 20 cm.
No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.
Yes. We ship worldwide. The price of shipping is automatically calculated at checkout before payment after you select the country of delivery and the preferred carrier. If you do not find your country in the dropdown list, please contact us. You will find a rough overview of shipping costs in our shipping and payment terms.
The estimated delivery date with your selected carrier can be seen before payment is made at checkout. It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.

Fabric weight is one of the key elements in any fabric description. It’s an indicator of what a cloth is actually made of and what it could be good for. In online fabric shops you’ll find it listed alongside textile content and width, in brick-and-mortar shops it’s on the sticker at the end of the bolt. So, what exactly does it tell you?
