Purple Fabric by the Yard

If you are looking for fabric in purple, buy purple fabric by the yard at KikiTextiles. You can get it cut to the length to your need and shipped the same day from Los Angeles. 

Our purple fabric collection runs to more than 40 purple and magenta bolts of purple fashion fabric. The purchases are based on dress weight, so the purple cloth suits gowns, dancewear, ballroom costumes, and stage pieces. We also offer to add five free swatches to any order if you want to see a shade in daylight first.

Shop Purple Satin and Silk for Fluid Drape

This collection is made of satin fabric. The Purple Luxury Silky Stretch Satin has a light four-way stretch, which helps with fitted bodices. If your project requires more body, look at purple crepe satin that holds a skirt shape. Also consider purple liquid bridal satin for glossier photographs. There is a small purple silk charmeuse range too, which is priced closer to luxury designer fabric and it moves quickly.

Buy Purple Velvet by the Yard for Plush Texture

For winter wear and rich color and plush texture, velvet fabric is a go-to material. Velvet reads rich on camera, so it tends to win for winter gowns and dark purple fabric projects. Purple Stretch Velvet has a four-way stretch, whereas the purple crushed velvet gives a broken and uneven sheen. To understand the fabric, press both lightly, and test on a scrap first.

Add Shine With Purple Sequins, Lurex and Iridescent Finishes

This is the purple designer fabric end of the range. Iridescent Purple Sequin on Velvet shifts between violet and blue as it moves, which suits pageant and red carpet work. Purple sequin on mesh weighs less and costs less. For a quieter sparkle, try purple metallic lurex or purple foiled jersey.

Order Purple Lace, Organza and Tulle for Layered Looks

Lace fabric material is a sheer layer over satin, with no bulk. Purple Chantilly lace is the most searched purple floral fabric by the yard. The floral motif is worked into the lace rather than printed on it. For crisp, purple crystal organza, do the needful. Purple tulle and purple power mesh are used in veils, overskirts, and bodice linings.

Pick Purple Poplin for Soft Everyday Sewing

Shoppers searching for purple cotton fabric by the yard usually want a matte, shirt-weight woven. Purple Poly Poplin fits that at $8.99, though it is polyester rather than cotton, so expect a crisper drape and easier care. It works as a purple soft fabric for tops, linings, and simple summer pieces.

Find Your Shade, From Lilac to Dark Purple

Screens shift purple more than most colours. So order swatches before you commit to yardage, and buy a full bolt in one go if the cut is large, because dye lots can vary between restocks.

Match Your Purple Fabric to the Occasion

Each of the purple fashion fabrics is tagged by project and design skill level, so you can filter based on your project and what you sew.

To make a purple evening gown or bridesmaid dress, satin is a choice. You can use silky stretch satin, purple crepe back satin, and duchesse satin.

Choose liquid bridal satin, Chantilly lace, and tulle for purple bridal and handfasting.

Dancewear and ballroom costumes can be made from stretch velvet, power mesh, and purple shiny nylon spandex.

In making cosplay and costumes, sequins on velvet, purple faux leather, and lurex cloth material are popular.

For event backdrops and drapes, use poly poplin and crystal organza.

FAQs

Where Can I Buy Purple Fabric by the Yard?

At KikiTextiles. We cut to order, ship the same day from Los Angeles, and US shipping is free over $129.

Is Purple Fabric Used in Fashion and Designer Collections?

Yes. It appears often in eveningwear and red carpet looks, usually as satin, velvet, or sequins. Our purple designer fabric picks cover those same finishes.

What Are the Different Types of Purple Fabric?

Satin, velvet, sequins, lace, organza, purple tulle, mesh, spandex, lurex, poplin, and faux leather, plus a short silk run.

What Are the Different Shades of Purple Fabric?

Lilac, lavender, pastel purple, violet, magenta, plum, eggplant, and aubergine, plus iridescent and silver purple finishes.

What Is Satin Purple, and How Is It Different From Purple Silk?

Satin is a weave; silk is a fibre. Most purple satin here is polyester, so it costs less and washes more easily than silk charmeuse while keeping a similar sheen.

What Is the Rarest Purple Fabric?

Historically, Tyrian purple silk. Today, the harder finds are deadstock purples and silk velvet, since both come in small lots and rarely repeat.

What Does the Color Purple Mean in Textiles and Design?

It has long carried associations with royalty and ceremony, largely because the original dye was expensive. Designers still lean on it for formal and stage pieces.

What Is the Best Purple Fabric for Upholstery, Pillows and Home Décor?

Upholstery needs a heavy, rub-tested woven, which this collection does not stock. For cushion covers, backdrops, or drapery, poly poplin and stretch velvet are the safer picks.

How Much Purple Fabric Do I Need for My Project When Buying by the Yard?

Roughly 3 yards for a simple dress, 5 to 6 for a full gown, and 2 for a skirt. Add about 15% for napped velvet or a one-way print.
