Muslin Fabrics

Muslin is a plain woven cotton sheeting fabric that is one the most ubiquitous fabrics in theater production. Standard width muslin is mostly used for costumes and scenery flats. Extra-wide muslin is used for scenery, backdrops, cycloramas, and projection.

Muslin Widths and Weights

Rose Brand stocks a variety of muslins from 44” wide up to 39’ wide. Our extra-wide muslin fabric is stocked in both flame retardant and non-flame retardant options, as well as in a variety colors. The 3 common weights of muslin are lightweight, usually used for lining or patterns by costumers; medium weight, used for hard covered flats; heavyweight, used for soft covered flats and large drops.

Why Extra-Wide Muslin Is Ideal for Backdrops

Muslin fabric backdrops are a staple of theatrical productions. The extra-wide width eliminates the need for seams. Theater muslin handles dyes and paint very well. The fabric is also non-reflective, an essential trait for any material under the spotlight. While untreated muslin is not fire-retardant, Rose Brand offers many that are treated with fire-retardant chemicals. We also offer Trevira muslin, which is IFR (inherently flame retardant). Most jurisidictions requre that theaters and other venues use flame retardant fabrics to comply with fire safety regulations. If you use FR or IFR goods, Rose Brand can provide a certificate. We stock standard and extra-wide muslin in a selection of widths and colors.
