James Perse Matte Black Foundation Fabric

Italian mill, this is a black matte light weight firm body fabric. It has just a little firm stretch and if you stretch really tight will have a little transparency barely there. In my mind it can be suitable for bras ( the underwire cup especially) it will give you strength and a sleak matte finish but it does not stretch enough without a closure or some other stretchy panel to allow you to get into a garment. You could make a garment too something loose as a concept. It was very expensive $22 a meter plus import shipping and customs.
