This is a triple laminated fabric. A heavy non-stretch tricot fabric has had a rigid sheer fabric laminated to the back to further increase strength. On the outside, a lace fabric has been laminated to give a pretty surface fabric. 3 fabrics in one! Ideal for basques and bodices. If you need to reduce the rigidity for parts of your garment, it is possible to separate the fabrics, by peeling them apart carefully.
