Fine silk textiles with elegant drape became central to the new Empire style, where dresses gathered beneath the bust and flowed into lightweight skirts with graceful movement.

This historical reproduction fabric recreates the elegant atmosphere associated with late 18th-century silk fashion and the refined neoclassical style popular during the early Empire and Regency period.

The material is Silk Satin.
The width of the fabric is 137 cm.
