Product Information
Full details
This Minerva Deadstock Metallic Lace fabric in Orange Citrus is ideal for sewists and fashion designers looking to add sophisticated texture and decorative flair to formalwear, overlays, or intricate garment details. The lightweight, floral-patterned openwork fabric offers excellent durability and crease resistance, though its limited deadstock nature means once current inventory is depleted, it cannot be restocked.

FAQs
Can I order more if this runs out?
No, as this is a deadstock fabric, it is sourced from unused production runs and cannot be replenished once the current stock is sold.
Does the fabric have any stretch?
The lace has minimal to no stretch, which is ideal for maintaining the shape of structured yokes and panels.
Is this fabric suitable for beginners?
While the fabric is stable, lace can be delicate. Beginners should practice on scraps first to get comfortable with the openwork texture.
What should I use for a lining?
A coordinating silk, satin, or lightweight cotton lining works well to provide opacity and allow the floral pattern to be highlighted.
Can this fabric be machine washed?
Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the metallic finish and the intricate lace design from abrasion.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging during machine sewing
Ensure your needle is sharp and use a straight stitch with a slightly longer stitch length to accommodate the open weave.
Seams showing through the lace
Use French seams or narrow rolled hems to keep the interior construction clean and minimal.
Pros and Cons

- Highly sustainable as a repurposed deadstock textile.
- Exceptional durability and resistance to everyday creasing.
- Versatile application for bridalwear, lingerie, and garment overlays.
Cons

- Requires careful handling due to the delicate openwork lace construction.
- Not suitable for load-bearing or high-stretch garment areas.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
When working with this lace, use a fine universal needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to prevent snagging the delicate fibers. It is recommended to use a polyester thread that matches the orange citrus tone for invisible seams. Because the fabric is lightweight and open, avoid excessive tension on your sewing machine. For care, hand wash the finished garment in cool water and lay it flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the metallic finish and the delicate lace structure. Do not iron directly on the lace; use a press cloth or steam gently from a distance if removal of wrinkles is necessary.
