Shaded fabrics always were very popular in dance world; dresses made from this kind of fabrics look very bright and catch attention on the floor straight away. Before it was quite difficult in sewing process to make dresses from roll’s shaded fabrics (in roll’s fabric shaded effect goes from selvage to selvage). Another weak points of roll’s shaded georgette were small quantity of colour variations and not so bright colours. To make a beautiful shaded effect all around the skirt was difficult task to cut and sew it properly even for very professional people. Mainly it was difficult because the seams had to be sewn on bias.

Half circles from “Farale” help you to avoid this kind of problem: cutting and sewing on bias. The only thing you need to do- to stitch the seams on grain line and that’s all-your skirt is ready! To use halfcircles “Farale” for making dresses is very comfortable and timesaving! But the main advantage of halfcircles “Farale” is colour shade position. Colour shade curves smoothly all around the skirt without any breaks or zigzag effect, which we usually receive from roll’s shaded georgette. This makes our production unique!  

Two different types of shade -smooth and snow, contrast and very delicate colour variations, shades with fluorescent colours-all these give designer very wide choice for inspiration. These halfcircles are great to use for skirts, for scarves and skirt’s inserts.
