Not sure about the color? We highly recommend ordering a sample swatch first to see the color and fabric in person. Colors may vary slightly due to screen settings and dye lots. Returns are accepted in accordance with our return policy and are subject to applicable restocking fees.

Dye Lot Variations

A Note About Dye Lots  Dye lots may vary slightly from order to order. As one fabric roll sells out and a new roll is opened, subtle color variations may occur. If matching a specific shade is important, we recommend ordering a sample swatch to view our current dye lot before placing your order.

Full Piece and/or Splits

Full Pieces & Splits

We always do our best to provide your order in one continuous piece whenever possible. However, as fabric rolls are completed or depending on how they arrive from the mill, an order may occasionally include more than one piece. Some mill-direct rolls may also contain splits within the roll.

For this reason, we cannot guarantee one continuous piece. If continuous yardage is important for your project, please contact our team before ordering so we can check availability for you.

This Is Better Than I Thought It Would Be!

I already had this product from another manufacturer, and I did not have enough. Knowing that a different store may not have the exact same product, I ordered enough to make the entire outfit. When THIS order arrived, it was much better than what I already had! I love this fabric, and it is awesome looking! By the way, in the video, the pocket that I will sew in is made from the previous lame! Do you see the difference? I am truly satisfied with this company and this fabric. I'll be baaaack!

Frequently asked questions

Crush Lame vs Slipper Lame — aren't they the same?
Same family, different texture and width. Both are Chinese-made replicas of Japanese tissue lame — 100% polyester, about 48 grams per square meter, reversible ('no face,' both sides identical), fragile yet luxurious. The difference: Crush (Crease) Lame has a creased, crinkled texture and comes 52" wide; Slipper Lame is the smoother tissue lame at 60" wide. Both are dry clean only. Choose Crush for the textured, light-catching crease effect; choose Slipper for smoother drape and more width per yard.
Does the crushed texture hide wear?
Somewhat — that's the practical case for it. The crease-crincled texture on this lame breaks up light and disguises the minor creasing and handling marks that show immediately on smooth lame. It's still a fragile, dry-clean-only metallic (48 GSM, very light body) — the texture forgives, it doesn't immunize. For theatrical and event use where the fabric gets handled between shows, the crush reads as intentional texture even after some wear. Smooth lame shows every insult; crush lame shrugs at small ones.
Can I wash it gently at home?
The listing says dry clean only — do not machine wash — and we'd honor that. At 48 grams per square meter with a delicate creased metallic finish, this lame has no tolerance for agitation; machine washing crushes the crease pattern unevenly and dulls the metallic. The dry-cleaning cost is intrinsic to tissue lame at any price. If your project truly needs washability, our machine-washable metallics (like tricot liquid lame) are the honest alternative — different look, but they survive the laundry.
