Lame / Metallic Fabric

Why Choose Lame Fabric?

Lame is chosen for its ability to create a strong visual impact with very little effort. The metallic surface reflects light from every angle, making it ideal for stage costumes, dancewear, party outfits, and creative projects where visibility matters. It’s lightweight, easy to shape, and flexible enough for both fitted and flowing designs.

Because lame has a smooth backing and a crisp, shiny face, it handles well for craft work, props, accessories, and decorative pieces. Whether you’re sewing for performances, events, or holidays, lame material offers bold colour, movement, and instant shine without adding unnecessary weight.

Types of Lame Fabric

Lame comes in a range of styles, each offering a slightly different finish, weight, and visual effect.

Christmas Lame Fabric

Christmas lame includes bright metallic colours and festive patterns that work well for seasonal decor, stage costumes, table displays, and craft projects. The reflective finish adds a high-impact look that suits holiday themes, making it ideal for tree skirts, props, banners, and statement accessories.

Halloween Lame Fabric

Halloween lame fabric brings bold colour and dramatic shine, perfect for costumes, themed events, and decorative displays. Its lightweight feel makes it easy to drape, layer, or gather, helping you create standout outfits or props that show well in low lighting and party settings.

Metallic Lame Fabric

Metallic lame is the classic version: smooth, bright, and designed to catch the light. This type is widely used for dancewear, performance outfits, cosplay, and high-impact craft projects. It shapes easily, works for both structured and draped designs, and gives a polished, eye-catching finish.

Striped Lame Fabric

Striped lame fabric adds pattern to the usual metallic surface, giving your project more depth and movement. It’s a strong choice for dancewear, skirts, trims, and decorative accents where you want shine but also a touch of visual structure. The woven or printed stripe helps break up the reflective surface for a more defined look.
