Product Information

Full details

The Minerva Core Range Corded Lace Fabric in Wine is designed for sewists and fashion designers looking to add sophisticated texture to bridalwear, evening gowns, and occasion pieces. Its standout feature is the elegant floral openwork pattern that delivers a high-end aesthetic while maintaining practical durability and crease resistance. While it offers a luxurious look, beginners should note that the openwork structure requires careful handling during cutting and sewing to prevent snagging.

FAQs

Is the lace stretchy?

This corded lace is designed for stability and does not have significant mechanical stretch, making it ideal for structured formal wear.

Does the fabric come in one piece?

Yes, all orders purchased per metre are cut as a single continuous piece.

What should I use for a lining?

A lightweight satin, crepe, or silk lining in a matching or complementary tone works best to highlight the lace pattern.

Can I iron this fabric?

Use a cool-to-medium iron and always use a press cloth to protect the integrity of the corded design.

Is this fabric suitable for a beginner?

While the fabric is beautiful, the openwork design can be delicate; it is better suited for those with some experience working with lace or delicate textiles.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging during sewing

Ensure your machine needle is new and sharp. If snags continue, use a fine silk pin and ensure your sewing surface is smooth and clear of debris.

Visible seams

Use a narrow seam allowance and press seams open carefully using a press cloth to avoid melting the fibers or crushing the cording.

Edge fraying

Use a clear anti-fray solution on raw edges or finish with a narrow rolled hem to secure the lace threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, high-end appearance suitable for formal wear
  • Excellent crease resistance for lasting presentation
  • Balanced medium weight makes it easy to drape
  • Continuous cut options ensure consistency for large garments

Cons

  • Openwork design requires careful handling to avoid snags
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural garments
  • Requires a coordinating lining or base fabric for modesty

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When preparing the fabric, handle it gently to avoid catching the cords. Use fine-point sewing machine needles (such as size 70/10 or 80/12) to prevent pulling the lace threads. For seams, consider using a zigzag stitch or a serger to finish edges, and always test your tension on a scrap piece first. For care, it is recommended to hand wash or use a delicate machine cycle with a protective garment bag to ensure the cords remain intact and the lace stays free from snags.
