Rayon challis is a lightweight, plain-weave fabric made from rayon fibers, known for its ultra-soft feel, excellent drape, and breathable nature. The term "challis" refers to the smooth, slightly brushed texture and fluid movement of the fabric, making it ideal for flowy garments and warm-weather wear.
Rayon challis has a cool, breathable hand feel and a matte finish. It offers the comfort of natural fibers with a refined, elegant drape similar to silk. Despite being lightweight, it is not sheer and holds dyes beautifully, often featuring vibrant prints and floral patterns.
