Introducing OmbreMe: Design Your Own Custom Ombré Fabrics
By Friedmans, 10 July 2026
At Friedmans, we’re committed to giving designers, manufacturers and brands the tools they need to create truly unique fabrics. That’s why we’re excited to introduce OmbreMe - our latest online design tool that allows you to create bespoke ombré and gradient fabrics with complete creative control.
Whether you’re designing dancewear, gymnastics leotards, figure skating costumes, activewear or fashion garments, OmbreMe makes it simple to create stunning gradient effects that are ready for digital printing.
What is OmbreMe?
OmbreMe is an online ombré fabric creator developed by Friedmans, allowing you to customise every aspect of your gradient design before it’s professionally printed onto your chosen fabric. Instead of searching for the closest matching ombré, you can create one that’s tailored specifically to your project.
The tool has been designed to be intuitive, giving you complete flexibility while taking the complexity out of creating professional gradient fabrics.
Choose Your Colours
Select the exact colours you want to use for your gradient. Whether you’re matching brand colours, coordinating with existing garments or creating something completely unique, the choice is yours.
Select the Gradient Direction
Choose between vertical or horizontal shading to suit your garment pattern or fabric layout. This gives you complete control over how the colour flows across your finished design.
Control the Transition
Every design is different. That’s why OmbreMe allows you to choose between soft, subtle fades or more defined colour transitions depending on the look you’re trying to achieve.
Adjust the Scale
Need a long gradual fade or a shorter, more dramatic transition? OmbreMe lets you adjust the size of your gradient, helping you create exactly the right effect for your garment.
Design Custom Circle Skirts
One of OmbreMe’s standout features is the ability to create bespoke radial ombré circle skirts. Perfect for dancewear, skating costumes and performance garments, this feature allows you to produce beautiful flowing gradients that create maximum visual impact when the garment is in motion. This is a more reliable method to hand dying the traditional method and therefore less time-consuming, expensive and wasteful.
Perfect for Performance Wear and Fashion
Ombré fabrics continue to grow in popularity thanks to their eye-catching appearance and ability to add movement and depth to a design. OmbreMe is ideal for creating fabrics for:
• Dancewear
• Gymnastics leotards
• Figure skating costumes
• Activewear
• Swimwear
• Fashion collections
• Theatre and stage costumes
• Performance apparel
Whether you’re producing one bespoke garment or an entire collection, OmbreMe gives you the flexibility to create fabrics that stand out.
Powered by Friedmans’ Digital Printing Expertise
Behind every OmbreMe design is the same digital textile printing expertise that has made Friedmans one of the UK’s leading fabric suppliers.
