Summer-weight fabric is a type of lightweight fabric that is typically used in the summer months due to its breathability and comfort. Two common examples of summer-weight fabrics are Madras and VOILE. Madras is a cotton fabric with a plaid or checkered pattern, originating from the city of Madras in India. VOILE is a sheer, lightweight fabric made from cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers. Both fabrics are popular for their lightness and airy feel, making them ideal for summer clothing.
