Calico Laine aim to bring you the widest choice of Fabrics for an array of different uses, whether you are a keen dressmaker or just starting out! Our Fabrics are of the highest quality and can also be used for fancy dress, crafts, dance wear and even to decorate an event space! Our range of Organza and Dress Nets are both fantastic value for money and can be used for hundreds of different projects!
Our Organza range has many different options to choose from...Starting from as little as £2.79 per meter, it has a lovely sheen to it and is beautifully sheer and lightweight and comes in beautiful colours! Organza can be used for dressmaking, and looks stunning when used over other materials or simply used under skirts to add extra body and a flash of colour... Organza is wide too (at 150cm wide) and is used for all types of clothing including dance wear and even for accessories such as fascinators and hats! Many people use Organza for special events such as birthdays and weddings to decorate their tables, chairs, flower arranging and even draped around the interior with your chosen colour scheme! We have recently added 'Two Tone Organza' to our selection which is shot with two stunning colours depending on which angle you are looking at them!
If you wish to add a bit of sparkle, the 'Penny Foil Organza' has stunning round silver foil embellishments which catch the light beautifully! This is the perfect fabric for dance wear and fancy dress and can be built up with layers of different coloured organza which looks really effective! You can also buy organza by the roll which come is a choice of lovely designs such as swirls, hearts, stars and even Christmas designs..... They are brilliant value for money and come on rolls of approximately 25 meters! The great thing about these Organza is that it wont fray either which is ideal for school projects, crafts and other decoration ideas you may have which have been listed above...
Dress Nets are a textured, light weight fabric and are available in a huge choice of colours!! Dress nets can be used under garments to add body and colour or even used over other fabrics to add texture to them! They are commonly made into Tu-tu's and fascinators and are slightly stiffer than Organza. Dress Nets are also used for bridal wear which also includes veiling too! As we love a bit of sparkle here at Calico Laine, we have a selection of 'Hologram Spot Dress Net' which is embossed with delicate sequins which reflect the light beautifully!
