Acetate Lining Fabrics

Acetate is made from a combination of synthetic and natural fibers. While this delicate fabric is not the most durable, its shine, mimicking the look of silk, is undeniable; gliding your hand over its smooth face summons the feeling of sophistication. Acetate is often used as a jacket lining. Jacquard, a popular luxury acetate fabric, is an elegant addition to formalwear sewing projects, used as suit linings and dress linings. Add a pop of color and design to your cold-weather wardrobe with an acetate jacket lining, or polish your evening attire with classic matching suit and pocket linings.
