30D polyester crinkle lurex chiffon glitter fabric

Product Overview

This 30D polyester crinkle Lurex chiffon glitter fabric combines a lightweight chiffon base with a textured crinkle surface and reflective metallic detailing. The contrast between the soft, flowing fabric and the Lurex glitter effect creates visual depth and movement for fashion, costume, event, and decorative textile designs.

The fabric is described as soft, comfortable, lightweight, durable, and customizable. Spot supply and custom production are accepted, with colors available according to customer requirements. Because weight, width, exact fiber percentages, opacity, and other construction details are not stated on the current product page, buyers should confirm the required specification before sampling or ordering.

Product Specifications

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The 30D designation identifies a fine-denier product, contributing to the fabric’s lightweight character. Buyers should request a technical specification sheet to confirm how the 30D yarn is used and to verify the final composition, weight, width, density, and construction.

The crinkle treatment gives the chiffon a dimensional, irregular texture rather than a completely flat surface. This can add movement, disguise minor creasing, and create a more tactile appearance in layered garments and decorative applications.

Lurex or glitter detailing introduces reflective highlights that change with movement and lighting. The final brightness, texture, skin-contact feel, and glitter retention may vary with the metallic yarn, decorative material, binder, or application process selected for production.

The source describes the fabric as soft, comfortable, lightweight, and durable. Performance requirements vary by end use, so buyers should validate seam strength, abrasion resistance, snagging, glitter retention, colorfastness, and care performance on an approved sample.

Key Product Features

• Distinctive metallic appearance: The Lurex glitter effect adds reflective detail and helps fashion or decorative products stand out under natural, retail, stage, or event lighting.
• Dimensional crinkle texture: The textured chiffon surface creates visual depth and complements gathered, layered, ruffled, and flowing designs.
• Lightweight construction: The fabric supports movement and layered styling without the bulk associated with heavier decorative textiles.
• Soft and comfortable character: Its source-described soft hand can support wearable applications, subject to testing the selected glitter or Lurex treatment against the skin.
• Custom-development potential: Custom colors, dyeing, printing, OEM, logo, and specification requests can be evaluated according to the project.
• Spot and bulk sourcing: Spot availability may support faster dispatch, while custom orders can be developed for buyer-specific programs. Stock and production schedules should be confirmed before quotation.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Dresses, Skirts, Blouses, and Fashion Overlays

The lightweight chiffon construction, crinkle texture, and metallic sparkle make the fabric suitable for fashion layers, decorative sleeves, skirt panels, ruffles, gathers, and overlays. It can introduce movement and reflective detail without making the garment appear visually heavy.

For dresses and skirts, buyers should evaluate opacity and decide whether a lining, double layer, or coordinated base fabric is required. For blouses and sleeves, confirm the skin-contact feel of the Lurex or glitter surface and test seam quality on the final construction.

Occasionwear, Eveningwear, Costumes, and Performance Apparel

Reflective highlights can be especially effective in eveningwear, party garments, dance costumes, stagewear, and promotional fashion. The crinkle surface helps distribute the glitter effect across folds and moving silhouettes.

Before production, test the fabric under the intended lighting and confirm glitter retention, snag resistance, seam stability, and comfort during movement. Reinforcement may be needed around closures, fitted seams, or areas exposed to repeated tension.

Scarves, Decorative Accessories, and Garment Details

The fabric can be considered for scarves, wraps, bows, hair accessories, trims, and decorative panels where a lightweight material with texture and sparkle is required. Edge finishing will strongly influence the quality of these products.

For items worn close to the face or neck, approve the hand feel and check whether the metallic or glitter component creates irritation. Narrow hems, rolled hems, binding, or carefully tested overlocking may be appropriate depending on the design.

Outdoor Apparel — Conditional Application

Outdoor apparel is listed on the source page. For this lightweight chiffon product, the most suitable outdoor uses are likely decorative overlays, fashion panels, event garments, resortwear, or accent components rather than technical protective shells.

No waterproof, windproof, UV-resistant, breathable-performance, tear-strength, or abrasion grade is stated. Buyers developing outdoor products should therefore define the required performance standard and test the fabric before bulk production.

Bedding and Decorative Home Textiles — Conditional Application

For bedding programs, the fabric may be considered for decorative overlays, bed runners, canopies, draped panels, cushion accents, or coordinated room accessories. Its crinkle texture and reflective appearance can create a layered decorative effect.

Because lightweight chiffon is not normally used as a load-bearing bedding structure, assess whether a backing or base fabric is required. Confirm wash care, colorfastness, glitter retention, dimensional stability, and skin-contact comfort for the intended product.

Upholstery and Interior Decoration — Conditional Application

Upholstery is also identified on the source page. The fabric is best evaluated as a decorative overlay, backed panel, event-décor textile, window accent, or low-abrasion interior component.

It should not be specified as an unbacked, high-wear seating surface without appropriate reinforcement and testing. Buyers should assess abrasion, seam slippage, snagging, fraying, glitter transfer, cleaning compatibility, and any applicable flammability requirements.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Opacity and lining: Lightweight chiffon is often semi-sheer, but the opacity of this product is not specified. Review the fabric over the intended lining and under relevant lighting before approval.
• Cutting and handling: Stabilize the fabric during spreading and cutting to control movement or distortion. A cutting trial is recommended before bulk production.
• Needle, thread, and seams: Begin development with a fine, sharp needle and lightweight thread, then adjust according to the approved fabric. Test seam slippage, puckering, skipped stitches, and damage to the Lurex or glitter component.
• Edge finishing: Evaluate narrow hems, rolled hems, overlocking, binding, or enclosed seams. The best method depends on the actual weave, fraying behavior, and product design.
• Crinkle stability: Do not assume that the texture will respond identically to heat, steam, washing, or pressing. Approve the crinkle appearance after the proposed finishing and care process.
• Lurex and glitter handling: Check snagging, shedding, surface abrasion, metallic-yarn breakage, skin-contact comfort, and sensitivity to pressing temperatures.
• Dyeing and printing: Although the source describes the fabric as dyeable and printable, confirm the selected process on the complete fabric construction. Request a lab dip or print strike-off and assess any effect on the crinkle texture and reflective surface.
• Quality approval: Depending on the application, consider testing composition, GSM, width, dimensional stability, colorfastness, seam slippage, tensile or tear strength, abrasion, pilling, glitter retention, and dry or wet rubbing.
• Care labeling: Establish washing, drying, ironing, or dry-cleaning instructions only after testing the final color, finish, glitter system, and garment construction.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Spot supply and custom production are accepted. Buyers may request custom colors, dyeing, printing, OEM service, logo-related options, or product-development support. Feasibility, MOQ, cost, and lead time depend on the final construction and customization request.

A free A4 reference sample is available. Shipping or special sample-development costs should be confirmed when requesting the sample.

For plain colors, the stated development schedule is:

• Lab dip: normally 3–5 days
• Approval sample: normally 7–10 days

The page provides two bulk-production timeframes: normally 15–20 days after the down payment and lab-dip confirmation, and 3–20 days for mass production in the FAQ. Buyers should confirm the applicable lead time based on stock availability, quantity, color, finish, testing, and production scheduling.

The stated monthly production capacity is more than 3 million meters. Confirm the available capacity and delivery allocation for this specific fabric and order period.

Pricing is determined according to quantity, quality level, required functions, and final specification. The source also states that online pricing is divided into three quantity levels and that larger quantities may receive more favorable pricing.

For first-time large orders, the typical arrangement is 30% down payment and 70% before shipment by T/T. L/C may be considered for repeat clients. L/C at sight and other payment terms can be discussed in advance.

Shipping is available by express or sea freight. Before ordering, confirm roll packing, labeling, shipping marks, carton or woven-bag requirements, palletization, port, Incoterm, and required export documents.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

Polyester chiffon containing a Lurex yarn, glitter material, binder, coating, print, or other decorative component may require more detailed material and chemical documentation than a plain polyester fabric. Buyers should identify every component in the final construction and communicate destination-market requirements before sampling and quotation.

EU-market buyers may need to monitor the ESPR and Digital Product Passport framework as product-specific ecodesign, traceability, and information requirements develop. Relevant records may include confirmed fiber composition, supplier and batch traceability, dye and finish information, and data concerning the Lurex, glitter, binder, or coating system.

The Global Textile Compliance 2024–2026 resource provides broader context for changing textile chemical, traceability, and documentation expectations. It is a sourcing reference and does not prove that this fabric is certified or compliant with any particular regulation.

Requirements vary by destination, product category, intended use, finish, buyer standard, and date of sale. Before bulk production, buyers should confirm the applicable legal and retailer requirements and request available test reports, certificates, declarations, technical data sheets, composition records, traceability information, or third-party testing support. Any required restricted-substance standard should be communicated before quotation and sampling.
