The Minerva Core Range Tocca Corded Lace Fabric is an excellent choice for sewists and fashion designers looking to add sophisticated texture and a soft, fluid drape to formal attire or bridal wear. Featuring a delicate floral motif and elegant scalloped edges on both sides, this light-to-medium weight fabric provides refined structure without excessive bulk. While it is perfect for overlays, sleeves, and special occasion garments, potential users should plan for slightly longer shipping times due to its third-party warehouse location.

The Tocca Corded Lace is a stable fabric with minimal natural give, making it suitable for structured garments rather than body-con styles.
Yes, this fabric is manufactured with a beautiful scalloped edge on both selvages.
A high-quality satin, crepe, or silk lining in a matching color is recommended to provide opacity and allow the floral motif to stand out.
Absolutely; the soft, fluid drape of this lace makes it an excellent choice for bell sleeves, flutter sleeves, or fitted lace sleeves.
It weighs approximately 144gsm, which classifies it as a light-to-medium weight textile.
Use a fresh, sharp microtex needle and ensure your needle plate is free of any rough spots or burrs.
Use plenty of fine silk pins or wash-away wonder tape to hold the delicate layers in place while stitching.
For best results, pre-wash your fabric gently by hand or using a delicate machine cycle if the fiber content permits, though air drying is strictly recommended to preserve the integrity of the corded pattern. Use standard polyester thread for seams, and ensure you use a "stay stitch" on any curved pieces to maintain shape. When cutting, treat the lace as a directional fabric if you wish to align the floral motifs symmetrically across seams. Always use sharp shears or a rotary cutter to ensure the delicate fibers do not fray or pull during the cutting process.
