The Minerva Core Range Stretch Woven Bengaline Suiting is an ideal choice for dressmakers who need a structured yet comfortable fabric for professional or smart-casual garments. It is best suited for those creating fitted trousers, pencil skirts, and tailored jackets where shape retention is key. While its 3% elastane content provides a convenient crosswise stretch, crafters should note that the fabric's medium-weight and firm handle make it less suitable for flowing or draping silhouettes.

Yes, its stable nature makes it easier to cut and sew than slippery or lightweight fabrics.
No, it features crosswise stretch (from selvedge to selvedge), which is ideal for fitted garment silhouettes.
While machine washing is safe at 40 degrees, it is recommended to air dry to prolong the elasticity of the fibers.
All orders are cut from the roll and dispatched as one continuous piece.
Because of its medium weight and opacity, lining is optional but recommended for jackets or structured dresses for a more professional finish.
Switch to a fresh universal or stretch needle and ensure your presser foot tension is correctly balanced.
Finish all raw seams with a zig-zag stitch or a serger/overlocker immediately after cutting to prevent unravelling.
