CHAMBRAY
Chambray is another smooth, lightweight fabric and does not drape as well as rayon challis, cotton voile or cotton lawn but has a penchant for creasing and retaining a worn look, much like denim. Chambray Fabric is a woven fabric, and is usually woven with 100% cotton yarn threads. A colored or dyed yarn is inter-woven with a white yarn thread. Chambray fabric is the fabric of choice for summer collections in women's shirts, tops, loose pants and shorts, dresses and skirts. Chambray generally has a faded look, with soft colors, rather than sharp shades. Sometimes chambray is made from linen, silk or other fibers, but most of it is woven with 100% cotton fibers.
