What is viscose fabric?
Viscose is a chemically produced fiber from the natural substance cellulose. Viscose is also known as "rayon" and is
used in the fashion industry as artificial silk. Viscose is a versatile fabric that can be used to make a variety of clothing
items, including dresses, blouses, and skirts.

Viscose fabric is known for its softness, breathability, and drape. It can also be dyed easily and is often used as a
substitute for natural silk or cotton. It provides comfort when worn and gives a visual sheen to clothing. However, it is
important to note that viscose fabric can shrink and lose its shape if it is not cared for properly, and it is not as durable
as some other fabrics.
