How about sewing a tailored dress or a wrap dress with a tie belt? What is Courtelle?Courtelle was developed by the company Courtaulds PLC in England in the mid-20th century. It's a composite fabric that is smooth, dense, soft, warm, and hard to crease. It's also known by the name "Ponte de Roma".A bit of practicalityThis fabric consists of 70% viscose, 27% polyester, and 3% elastane. You choose the length you need for your sewing project – the width is 145 cm. Please note that the fabric shrinks by 13% when washed. When working with jersey, we recommend using a jersey needle, characterised by having a medium point – also known as ball point. The needle easily penetrates the knitted quality and prevents stitches and threads from running. For this type of jersey, we recommend jersey needles in size 80.
