- Lame in Fabrics - Lamé is a type of fabric that is often used in the production of clothing and accessories to create a metallic or shimmering effect. It is typically made from a combination of metallic threads, such as gold, silver, or copper, and other fibres such as silk, polyester, or nylon. It can be woven or knitted, and is often used to create garments and accessories that are meant to be eye-catching and glamorous. It is commonly used for evening wear, such as dresses, skirts, and blouses, as well as for costume design and stage clothing.
One of the characteristics of lamé is that it can be very lightweight and drapes well, making it a popular choice for flowing and draped garments. It can also be used for accessories such as bags, shoes, and belts, and is often combined with other materials such as leather or suede to create contrasting textures. Lamé can be created in a range of colours and finishes, from bright and bold metallics to more subtle, iridescent effects. Some types of lamé are also available with a patterned or embossed finish, adding an additional layer of texture and interest to the fabric.
While lamé is often associated with formal or evening wear, it can also be used in more casual or everyday garments and accessories, depending on the style and application. However, due to its metallic and often flashy appearance, it is generally considered a statement fabric and is not appropriate for all occasions.
