Love this color! Kind of a chiffon georgette crepe with a little stretch. This is much easier to sew than regular chiffon - it has a little catch, this will make a slamming blouse.Width: 52”silk/elastineEuropean designer surplus

New Swatch Pack Program (Please Share Your Swatches):  Everything is top quality hand selected deadstock, new fabric is coming and going constantly, there are no labels on the swatches but we try to coordinate as much as possible with corresponding webpages for example Cool with the Cool page. This is not an exact science. If you need info on a swatch please text to 323-907-2561. Email and chat box also works. Please note this phone line gets a  lot of robocalls so best to text. Please state your name in the text.  You may order swatch packs to be added to your current order or sent alone, if sent alone there is a small shipping fee that is the actual cost of shipping. Swatch sizes range depending on fabric but they are usually about 2 or 3" square some are smaller it depends how precious or the stock level.  Swatch packs are matched with themes from the website. Sometimes there may be a discrepancy. Sometimes you may receive new samples that are not posted yet. Like I said there is fabric flying all over the place here. The number of swatches in each pack can vary depending on current stock. We basically add everything we can for the theme. New fabric is always coming and going. You can always request particular swatches to go in your order like usual - max 5. These are complementary. Please make the request in the notes box - bottom left hand corner - on the check out page. If none of this works for you please order a custom pack and place your preferences in the order notes, you can always extra confirm in the chat box If you need just a swatch or 2 we will mail this in an envelope. Please leave request in chat with mailing address. If the address is not included this will cause a delay. If you are in the Lost Art Club you can add a swatch pack to your current order at no charge just put the request in the notes when you check out.   

Vintage Matelassé geometric pattern. Vendor verified this is Swiss from another piece in the collection, it is spectacular. Jacket weight, soft, not crisp, not super dense, white and icy lime - pale. There is a little more about 1/2 if interested leave a note. Collectors piece. Width: 36"

From Italian company known for psychedelic prints. Easy to sew, you can serge directly -  sequined mesh with a little give lengthwise. A little transparency not much to worry about. You can treat like a woven and line to make a shift dress, caftan, great for tops with jeans, this is even more gorgeous in person. Pattern runs cross grain. Italian fashion deadstock, imported. 51" sequins/ 58"including mesh border

Crisp vibrant teal wool binder 10mm on each side with a crease for the fold. Please note this stretches cross not with the length. This makes it easy to wrap an edge or for covering a seam but does not stretch lengthwise. The binder will stretch over the boiled wool, not super heavy coating but a medium coat and jacket weight. Feel free to ask questions. It will do curve depending on how severe but I recommend dampening in the curve and steaming to shrink and mold first. Also consider using on another fiber for contrast. made in Japan, each side is 10mm 100% wool

Super soft with good weight for pants and dresses. Lots of drape. Apparently there is a small flaw in the weave every 1 1/2 yard, I can't see it but still looking deeper. This is very very soft, opaque, why throw away because of a little slub in the weave.  Width: 58" 100% tencel designer surplus
