Minerva Deadstock Chantilly Tulle Lace Fabric - Light Lilac

Chantilly tulle lace typically has minimal to no stretch, making it suitable for structured overlays rather than form-fitting garments.

No, this is a deadstock item. Once the current inventory is sold out, it will not be replenished.

Yes, it creates beautiful volume and texture when used as an overlay on a skirt, though it is quite sheer and will require an opaque lining.

Because of the openwork floral edges, the best finish is often to hand-stitch a narrow hem or follow the scalloped edge of the lace if applicable.

While beautiful, the delicate nature of lace can be challenging. It is recommended for sewists with some experience handling lightweight, sheer fabrics.

Ensure your machine needle is new and sharp. Use a straight stitch plate to prevent the lace from being pulled into the throat plate.

Use fine silk pins or water-soluble basting tape instead of heavy-duty clips that may weigh down the delicate tulle.

Reduce the thread tension slightly and use a longer stitch length to accommodate the delicate nature of the tulle weave.
