It Is Considered To Be A “High-End” Fabric, Suitable For Use In Wedding Or Evening Gowns, Prom Dresses, Ball Gowns, Coats, Jackets, Or Other Party Dresses. Besides, Taffeta Is Also Stitched Into Curtains For Enhancing The Interiors. As The Fabric Is Crisp, It Looks Excellent When Drawn Together In Folds, Or Gathered Up In Full Skirts Or Sleeves.
