Interlining fabric sits between the outer layer and the lining to control shape, warmth, and comfort. It supports collars, lapels, cuffs, and panels so garments keep a clean outline during daily wear.
Types and Feel
Interline fabric can be woven, knitted, or nonwoven. Soft options add gentle padding, while firmer styles give tailored structure. Good lining and interlining fabric should never feel bulky or stiff against the body.
Uses
Designers rely on interlining fabric for coats, jackets, dresses, and curtains. It improves drape, reduces wrinkles, and helps clothing last longer.
Care
Most interlinings handle light washing when matched to the outer fabric. Always test a small piece before sewing the full garment.
