Premium Plisse Metallic Lame Stretch Jersey
Premium Plisse Metallic Lame Stretch Jersey is a South Korea-made metallic knit combining 95% polyester and 5% spandex with a micro-plissé surface and 4-way stretch. At 190 GSM and 150 cm wide, it has an opaque, fluid-to-body-skimming drape designed for evening gowns, cocktail dresses, abayas, jumpsuits, dancewear and stage costumes that need both movement and a reflective statement finish.
The fine plissé texture breaks up the metallic reflection so the surface changes with movement rather than reading as one flat sheet of shine. Its 4-way stretch makes it more adaptable to fitted and performance-oriented silhouettes than non-stretch metallic wovens, while the midweight 190 GSM construction provides more body than ultra-light stretch jersey.

What buyers ask before ordering
What makes this metallic plisse jersey different from a non-stretch lame fabric?
This fabric has a knit base with 4-way stretch plus a micro-plisse metallic surface, so it can follow fitted and movement-focused silhouettes more easily than a non-stretch metallic woven.
Will the metallic finish look flat or overly costume-like?
The micro-plisse texture breaks the reflection into smaller areas, so the shine changes across folds and movement instead of reading as one continuous mirror surface. A swatch is the best way to judge the effect under your intended lighting.
Is 190 GSM too heavy for dancewear or stage movement?
At 190 GSM it is midweight rather than ultra-light, but the 4-way stretch allows movement. Test a swatch with the intended choreography and pattern ease when freedom of movement is critical.
Can I use it for an evening gown or cocktail dress?
Yes. Its opaque coverage, metallic surface and 4-way stretch suit fitted, draped and body-skimming evening silhouettes, provided the pattern is drafted for stretch fabric.
Is this suitable for an abaya?
Yes for statement abayas, panels and modern occasionwear shapes where stretch and metallic texture are desired. For a very traditional lightweight flowing abaya, a non-stretch fluid woven may give a different silhouette.
Can I use this fabric for swimwear?
It is not presented as a chlorine-resistant technical swim fabric. Although the knit stretches in four directions, repeated pool chemicals, saltwater, sunscreen, sun exposure and abrasion can affect metallic surface finishes, so choose a purpose-built swim textile for regular swimming.
How much does 4-way stretch help with fitted garments?
It stretches in both length and width directions, which is useful for fitted dresses, jumpsuits, dancewear and stage pieces. Exact garment ease should still be tested against a swatch because stretch and recovery depend on the pattern and construction.
Can the metallic foil crack, dull or wear where the garment stretches repeatedly?
Surface metallic finishes can gradually change at high-flex or high-friction areas. Avoiding harsh laundering, high heat and rough contact helps, and a movement test on a swatch is recommended before a production run.
Will the plisse texture stay exactly the same after repeated care?
Heat and aggressive handling can affect textured finishes. Follow the stored care guidance, avoid direct high heat and test cleaning and pressing on a swatch rather than assuming the original texture is permanent under every care method.
What needle and sewing approach should I test first?
Use a stretch-appropriate or ballpoint needle and test stitch type, tension and feed on a swatch. Avoid stretching the fabric as it passes under the presser foot, and confirm seam recovery before cutting the full garment.
Do the cut edges curl like other jerseys?
Some jersey constructions can curl at cut edges, but the amount varies with the knit and direction. Test your colourway and use clips, stabilisation or an appropriate stretch finish if edge curl appears during construction.
How will the metallic colours look in photos and video?
Metallic surfaces are highly light-dependent, so camera angle, flash and event lighting can change the perceived colour and shine. Test the intended colourway under your actual lighting setup for campaign or stage use.
Will repeat orders match exactly?
Small differences can occur between dye and metallic finishing batches. For costumes, bridesmaids, performances or coordinated production, order the expected quantity together or compare a current swatch before reordering.
Is it suitable for wholesale costume or occasionwear production?
Yes. The shared 190 GSM, 150 cm, 4-way stretch base can support coordinated production across colourways. Order swatches first to confirm stretch, metallic appearance and handling for your pattern before committing to the wholesale quantity.
When should I choose another fabric instead?
Choose a technical swim fabric for regular pool use, a breathable natural-fibre fabric for hot everyday basics, a non-stretch woven for crisp tailoring, or a heavier structural textile when strong shape retention matters more than stretch.
Before cutting or sewing this metallic foil-print stretch jersey, test a swatch for washing, pressing, seam handling and finish durability. The foil surface and plissé texture can react to heat and friction, so confirm the safest settings before production.
- Test first Test a swatch before washing, pressing or cutting the full fabric.
- Needle Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and test stitch length and tension to avoid skipped stitches or marking the foil surface.
- Wash Use cold gentle hand washing or a delicate machine cycle, inside out, max 30°C.
- Dry Do not tumble dry. Air dry flat or in shade to protect the plissé texture and foil finish.
- Iron Avoid direct ironing on the foil face; if pressing is necessary, use very low heat on the reverse side with a pressing cloth.
- Cutting Let the fabric relax flat before cutting, use a walking foot when sewing, and avoid stretching the fabric while feeding it through the machine.
General care guidance only. Results may vary by colour, foil finish, water quality, heat, friction and garment construction.
