The main body (170; 270) has a sealing portion (177; 277) and an engagement portion (179; 279) extending outwardly from sealing portion (177; 277) along at least one of the mate faces (178; 278). The main body (170; 270) includes one or more braided core plies having a first fiber construction and arranged to establish an internal cavity (184). An overwrap (194) having one or more braided overwrap plies follows a perimeter of the one or more braided core plies to establish the engagement portion (179; 279) and the sealing portion (177; 277). The one or more braided overwrap plies have a second fiber construction differing from the first fiber construction. A method of fabricating a seal (69; 169; 269) for a gas turbine engine (20) is also disclosed.
