Here at Calico Laine we strive to bring you the widest choice of Dressmaking Fabric ranging from luxurious fabrics suitable for bridal and evening wear to fancy dress and everything in between! As we have such a fantastic variety of fabrics there will be something for everyone! If you are making clothing for dance or sportswear, look no further than Fabric-world! One of the most popular choice that we have is Lycra. Lycra is a lovely breathable fabric which is recognized all over the world and is made from spandex so has a fantastic element of stretch to it which not only makes sure that it is extra comfy, it wont restrict any movement either. Our Lycra is 150cm wide and is available in stunning vibrant colours and is used right across the board for dance wear, leotards and many many more! We also have a Showtime section which houses an abundance of sequin rich fabrics in stunning bright colours which can be used for dressmaking and even as decoration and backdrops as they are fantastic value for money too! The sequined fabric catches the light brilliantly and reflects brilliantly so really will create a showstopping piece. If you are thinking about making a dance dress, why not add extra body with our range of Dress Nets which again, come in a vast choice of colours too! Many people even layer a few different colours which look really effective too! You can easily build them up by sewing a small hem and using elastic for the waistband! If you want to add even more sparkle, we have Hologram Spot Dress Net which is embossed with sequins too!! As Dress Nets are super light weight you can build up as many layers as you like without them affecting any movement... Whatever you are making your garment for, Body Stocking is vastly used as it is a sheer, stretchy fabric which can be used for paneling for cut out parts,  sleeves and leggings. The great thing about the Body Stocking is that it comes in a choice of skin coloured colours to match up your skin tone nicely! It is 140-150 cm wide and can be bought by the meter!
