Woven Interlining

Woven interlining is a supportive fabric used in garment construction to enhance the shape and stability of various elements. Here’s an overview of its characteristics, types, and applications:

Characteristics:

Structure: Made from woven fibers, which provide strength and stability compared to non-woven interlinings.

Weight: Available in different weights, allowing for selection based on the desired level of support and drape.

Breathability: Often more breathable than non-woven options, making it suitable for a variety of fabrics.

Types:

Fusible: Features an adhesive backing that allows it to bond directly to the main fabric when heat is applied, simplifying the application process.

Non-Fusible: Requires stitching or other methods to attach to the fabric, offering flexibility in how it can be used.

Uses:

Collars and Cuffs: Provides structure while allowing for a polished finish.

Lapels and Jackets: Essential for maintaining shape in tailored garments.

Dresses and Skirts: Used to support bodices and other fitted areas.
