Byitre 16 Momme Mulberry Silk Charmeuse Fabric 44" Wide — 100% Pure, Medium-Weight, Smooth Drape

Byitre 16 Momme 100% Mulberry Silk Charmeuse is a medium-weight, 44" wide pure mulberry silk fabric ideal for sewing elegant garments and refined home accents.

This charmeuse is woven from 6A grade mulberry silk at 16 momme, giving it a satin-like luster, smooth hand, and a balanced drape that suits both clothing and décor projects. Sold by continuous lengths per piece, the fabric combines a wearable weight with natural breathability and a subtle sheen that lifts finished items without overpowering design lines.

What makes 16 momme silk different and when should I choose it?

At 16 momme, this silk sits in the medium-weight range — heavier than ultra-light silk chiffons but lighter than heavier duchess satins. It offers enough body to hold seams and structure for dresses or pants, while remaining soft next to skin for shirts and sleepwear.

• Medium weight suitable for garments and structured accessories
• Smooth charmeuse face with a soft drape on the reverse
• Good balance of sheen and durability for frequent wear
• Natural breathability helps comfort in varied temperatures

How does the fabric arrive and can I order continuous lengths?

Each purchase is delivered as a single full-length piece for the chosen yardage, so buying multiple yards returns continuous fabric unless noted for select colours. For some colours like ivory, pink, and black, small orders (1–2 yards) may be provided as separate cuts rather than a continuous run.

• Orders labeled 1 yard × quantity 3 = three continuous yards as one piece
• Some colours may ship as separate cuts for small quantities
• Width is 44 inches, allowing pattern placement and seam allowances
• Check product listing notes for any colour-specific cutting policy

What projects work best with this silk charmeuse?

This silk is versatile: it suits tailored garments, flowing dresses, blouses, luxe sleepwear, scarves, and decorative home pieces like pillow covers. Its satin finish highlights shapes and seams, while the natural fibre properties lend comfort for items worn close to the skin.

• Wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and formalwear linings
• Blouses, camisoles, and sleep sets with soft drape
• Accessories: scarves, ties, pocket squares
• Home accents: pillow covers and lightweight drapery details

How should I care for and sew this 100% mulberry silk?

Handle silk gently: hand wash in cool water with a silk-safe cleanser or dry clean when recommended. Use fine needles and silk-specific sewing feet to prevent snags; press with a low-temperature iron on the wrong side or a pressing cloth to protect the sheen.

• Hand wash under 30°C with mild silk detergent, rinse gently
• Avoid rubbing or wringing; air dry flat or on a line away from direct sun
• Sew with size 9–11 (60–90) needles and fine silk thread

Who is this fabric for? Sewists, designers, and crafters seeking a luxurious yet manageable silk are the primary audience: those making bridal garments, elevated everyday apparel, refined accessories, or decorative home items will appreciate the 16 momme weight and 44" width. Byitre's 100% mulberry silk charmeuse is also suitable for makers who want a natural fibre with a satin finish that performs well for both hand-sewn and machine-constructed projects.
