Devore Fabric

Devoré fabric, also called burnout fabric, is a luxurious material made by selectively dissolving certain fibres in a fabric blend to create unique, semi-transparent patterns. This process is typically done on a base of fabrics like silk, velvet, or viscose, where one type of fibre (often cellulose-based) is “burnt out” while the rest remains intact. The result is a contrast between opaque and sheer areas, often forming intricate motifs or textures. It is commonly used in high-end fashion for its delicate, artistic look and tactile appeal.

Is Devoré Fabric See-Through?

Yes, the devoré fabric is partially see-through. The areas where fibres are removed during the burnout process become sheer, creating a contrast with the remaining opaque sections and giving the fabric a light, airy appearance.

Is Devoré Fabric Stretchy?

Generally, the devoré fabric is not stretchy. The process is usually applied to non-stretch materials like silk or velvet, but if the fabric contains elastic fibres like spandex, it may have some flexibility depending on the blend.
