More About This Fabric

Babycord is a finer, lighter version of traditional corduroy, with delicate narrow ribs that give the fabric its distinctive texture without making it feel heavy or bulky.
Soft to the touch with a lovely velvety surface, it has enough body to hold its shape while remaining comfortable and easy to wear. This makes it a really versatile choice for garments that need a little structure without the weight of a heavier cord.
Its fine wale gives it a more subtle finish than classic corduroy, making it suitable for everything from casual everyday pieces to more polished autumn and winter garments.
As with all corduroy fabrics, babycord has a directional nap, so pattern pieces should be cut in the same direction for an even appearance.
