The Minerva Core Range Crushed Taffeta in Dark Carbon Grey is a versatile, lightweight choice for sewists focused on structured dressmaking, such as occasion wear, full skirts, and costume design. Featuring a distinct, crisp hand and a subtle rustling quality, this fabric excels at maintaining defined silhouettes. While its polyester and polyamide blend ensures durability and excellent crease resistance, beginners should note that the fabric's stiff, crisp nature requires careful handling during pressing and sewing to avoid permanent unwanted creases.

Yes, its structured drape and crushed finish make it an excellent choice for formal occasion wear and structured bridal silhouettes.
Taffeta generally has a tendency to fray; we recommend finishing your raw edges with a serger or zig-zag stitch immediately after cutting.
You should use a cool iron on the reverse side. Avoid steam if possible, as it may affect the crushed texture.
It is sold by the metre, and all orders are cut from the roll as one continuous piece.
It is best for full skirts, structured jackets, costumes, and any garment requiring defined shape and volume.
Use a finer, sharp needle and reduce the stitch length to prevent over-perforation.
Use a walking foot or stabilize the seams with light tissue paper while sewing.
When preparing to sew with the Minerva Core Range Crushed Taffeta, use a sharp, fine-gauge sewing machine needle (such as a 70/10 or 80/12 universal) to prevent pulling the weave. Because the fabric can be slippery, use fine glass-headed pins or pattern weights to keep your fabric secure during cutting.
