Minerva Core Range Dress Net Fabric - Flo Lemon

Dress Net is highly versatile. It's excellent for structured garments like tutus and underskirts, decorative elements in fascinators and bouquets, costume layers, and adding volume or texture to clothing.

This Dress Net fabric is stiffer than standard tulle netting, meaning it holds its shape more firmly. It is not as stiff as extra-stiff net fabric, offering a balance between structure and flexibility.

Due to its mesh structure and potential stiffness, it's generally recommended to line this fabric or use it in layers rather than for direct skin contact unless a specific design calls for it and appropriate lining is used.

The recommended washing instruction is 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and tumble drying to preserve the fabric's quality and color.

A very light zig-zag stitch along the cut edge or a rolled hem can help prevent fraying. For some applications, leaving a small selvage or allowing the mesh to naturally curl may suffice.
