Red Fabric by the Yard

You can buy every shade of red on this page that is cut to order, so you pay for the yardage you actually need. Our red fabric runs from deep burgundy to bright scarlet. This range covers red satin, red velvet, red cotton, red lace, red tulle, and red spandex. 

Still deciding on a shade? First, order five free swatch cuts that are included with every order at Kiki Textiles, so you can check the color with your own eyes first.

Shop by Fabric Type, Texture and Weave

Choose red fabric cloth based on the way the fabric behaves.

From the satin family, red satin, red duchesse satin, red liquid bridal satin, red crepe back satin, red silk charmeuse- all these options are well-suited if you want fabric to be fluid and shiny.

For a soft feel with a nap, choose red from the velvet collection, red crushed velvet, red stretch velvet, red sequin on velvet, red faux fur.

If you want the fabric to be sheer and airy, then select from red chiffon, red shimmery chiffon, red organza, red tulle, red lace, red guipure, red mesh, or sequin on mesh.

Your project should use red poplin, red gabardine, red twill suiting, red denim, red linen, red rayon, red taffeta, red brocade or jacquard, if a woven structured fabric is needed.

For stretch, go for red jersey knit, red ponte knit, red spandex, red milliskin, red shiny nylon spandex, red metallic lurex, red faux leather, red glossy latex.

Find Your Red, From Rich Tones to Bright and Hot Shades

On screen and with naked eyes, the color may look different in shades. Two reds that look identical online can appear differently once the bolt is in front of you. Therefore, before buying the whole length, order a swatch when the shade has to match something you already own. A rich red color hides seams well, a retro red color suits vintage patterns, and if you want the color bright red rather than a deep tone, stay in the scarlet and cherry rows.

Choose the Right Red Clothing Fabric for Your Project

Cotton Red Fabric for Everyday Sewing

Red cotton and red poplin press flat, hold a seam, and suit shirts, skirts, kidswear, and quilting & patchwork. Cotton stock in red is smaller than our satin range, so check availability if you are planning a big cut. For a red cloth material with more body, red gabardine and red twill or suiting can be considered.

Red Satin Fabric and Silk for a Fluid Finish

Red Silky Stretch Satin falls close to the body and photographs well under warm light. For more structure, red duchesse satin and red liquid bridal satin hold a skirt out. Red crepe back satin gives you two usable faces, matte on one side and shine on the other, which helps when you mix textures in one garment.

Red Stripe Cloth and Printed Reds

Stripes break up a solid block of color. Red White Striped Nylon Spandex suits skating costumes, leggings, and team pieces, and it covers most of what shoppers want from a red and white fabric collection. Prints and red sequins on mesh do similar work when a plain panel looks flat.

Red Fabric for Clothing Built Around the Occasion

Prom dress, cocktail dress, bridesmaid dress, a Valentine's Day shoot the color red carries all of them. Red Duchesse Satin is the steady pick for such occasions that need a structured evening gown. The red silk charmeuse and red chiffon suit softer lines. Sheer red organza and red tulle layer over either.

Red Velvet Fabric for Costume, Dance and Cosplay

Stage light flattens solid color; therefore, actors and dancers often ask for a hot red colour with some gloss to it. Red Stretch Crushed Velvet is the option that moves with the body and hides stitching under lights. Also, red sequins on velvet, red metallic lurex, and red shiny nylon spandex look brighter when seen from the back row, thus helping with flamenco & ballroom costume work, dancewear, and costume & cosplay builds. For grip and gloss, look at red faux leather and red glossy latex.

Buy Red Fabric Paired with White, Black and Gold

When paired with white, our Red Silky Stretch Satin appears bold and crisp. This silky stretch fabric offers durability for flowing and fitted garments. Red fabric softens against cream and sharpens on black or navy. To give your dress a sharp look, pair it with Black.

Red with Gold gives you the heavier look ideal for bridal wear, dancewear, and tailored designs.

Red Upholstery Fabric and Home Décor Picks

Upholstery & drapery work may require more weight, so red brocade or jacquard, red taffeta, and heavier red velvet are more suitable than apparel knits. So, for home décor (pillows, table linens, curtains) and Christmas décor, these hold up well. Our stock leans apparel first, so a hard-wearing sofa may need a rated upholstery cloth.

FAQs

What Are the Different Types of Red Fabric?

Shiny wovens such as red satin and red taffeta, napped goods like red velvet, sheers including red chiffon and red organza, sturdy wovens like red denim and red linen, plus stretch knits such as red ponte knit and red jersey knit.

Where Can I Find Red Fabric by the Yard?

On this page. Filter by fabric type, stretch, weight, or occasion, then order the length you need. Most cuts are processed the same day.

What Does Red Fabric Symbolize?

Confidence, celebration, and romance, mostly. Across much of Asia, red also signals luck, which is why it shows up at weddings and New Year events.

Are Any Fabrics Naturally Red, or Is Red Always Dyed?

Nearly all red cloth is dyed. Madder root and cochineal give natural reds, but commercial yardage is dyed or printed rather than grown that color.

What Is the Best Red Fabric for Dresses and Evening Gowns?

Red duchesse satin and red liquid bridal satin when you want structure. Red silk charmeuse or red crepe back satin for a closer, fluid fit. Velvet if you want weight and depth.

What Is the Difference Between Crimson, Scarlet, Ruby and Burgundy?

Scarlet leans orange. Crimson leans blue. Ruby sits deep and jewel-like. Burgundy is the darkest of the four and carries a purple cast.

Will Red Fabric Bleed or Fade in the Wash?

Some reds do, especially strong dyes on cotton and rayon. Wash cold and separately the first time, and a dye-catcher sheet helps. Testing a swatch first settles it.

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

As a rough guide: 2 to 3 yards for a simple dress, 4 to 6 for a full-length gown, 1 to 2 for a top. Wider 58 to 60 inch goods usually need less.
