Yes — uncut fabric can be returned within 7 days of delivery. Cut-to-order fabric is non-returnable as it's customized to your specifications.

What is the difference between regular cotton and cotton sateen?

Cotton Sateen keeps the comfort of cotton but adds a gentle sheen that makes garments look more intentional. Regular cotton stays matte and simple, which gives it a more everyday feel.

Do you do custom dyeing in this fabric?

Is this fabric suitable for kids' clothing?

Yes, Cotton Sateen is great for kids because the soft finish feels comfortable and non‑scratchy. Its smooth drape makes it lovely for dresses, skirts, and occasionwear.

How do I care for reactive-dyed fabric?

Wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Dry in shade to prevent colour fading. The reactive dye process ensures long-lasting colour, but direct sunlight over time can cause gradual fading.
