Semi sheer and exceptionally shiney, this particular tussah fabric is woven from reeled tussah, which is very rare. Being Tussah, which is a wild silk, it is remarkably strong, tough and durable for such a light weight fabric. Being reeled it is luminescently sheeny as only reeled, filament silk can be.
