Product Information

Full details

The Minerva Deadstock Metallic Lace Fabric in Pink is an ideal choice for fashion designers and home sewists looking to add a refined, decorative touch to their projects. This lightweight, openwork fabric excels in creating delicate overlays, bridalwear, lingerie details, and statement sleeves, offering both aesthetic elegance and structural durability. While its metallic sheen and intricate floral pattern provide a high-end finish, users should note that the openwork nature of the lace requires careful handling and often necessitates a coordinating lining or base fabric.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this fabric require a lining?

Yes, because it is an openwork lace, it is semi-transparent and generally requires a matching or contrasting lining fabric underneath.

Is this fabric machine washable?

Yes, it is suitable for machine washing at 40C. We recommend using a delicates bag to protect the lace threads.

What is the width of the fabric?

The fabric measures 108 cm in width.

Can I use this for heavy-weight garments?

No, this is a lightweight decorative fabric. It is not designed for heavy-duty structural support.

Why is it labeled as deadstock?

Deadstock fabrics are leftover materials from high-end fashion production that would otherwise go to landfill. Using deadstock is a sustainable practice.

Will the metallic fibers scratch my skin?

The metallic fibers are integrated into the lace. If you are sensitive, we recommend lining the garment with a soft silk or rayon to create a barrier against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging during sewing

Use a new, sharp microtex needle and reduce the presser foot pressure if your machine allows.

Edges fraying easily

Apply a light coat of fray-stop liquid to the edges or use a serger to finish the seams immediately after cutting.

Metallic threads losing sheen

Avoid high-heat ironing and wash the garment inside out in a laundry mesh bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, it is recommended to pre-wash the fabric at 40C to ensure any potential shrinkage is accounted for. Due to the metallic content and delicate lace weave, use a fine universal needle or a sharp microtex needle (size 70/10 or 80/12) to avoid damaging the threads. When sewing, consider using a zig-zag stitch or a narrow serged edge to prevent fraying along the cut seams. For ironing, use a low-heat setting and a press cloth to protect the metallic fibers from heat damage. Always store the fabric rolled or folded loosely to avoid deep creases in the delicate lace structure.
