Shaded Fabrics

Feel fabulous in DSI shaded dance fabrics. The most common shading is the horizontal, often referred to as Ombre, featuring a smooth colour graduation across the width of the fabric. Driven by our fascination for a perfect colour match, we select two colours from our DSI colour range, which we believe will create a visually stunning colour combination. The most dramatic colour combinations are achieved by combining contrasting and polarising colours, most evident in our black horizontal shades. But often we opt for a softer look, often achieved in combining colours with white or two pastel shades. In total we offer in excess of 40 colour shadings to light up the dance floor. The most common used base fabric is georgette, hence we offer more than 30 colour combinations of shaded georgette. A huge variety of shaded pearl chiffon, also known as satin chiffon shadings and shaded stretch satin ideally suited for the skirts and floats of Ballroom dresses are also available from stock. Never discriminating against the Latin dancer, we offer shadings also in smooth velvet, crepe and DSI stretch. Complete the perfect look with elasticated shaded fringes! Shaded smooth velvet, crepe and DSI stretch will ensure a secure, yet comfortable dance performance.
