When you want an eye catching project, order metallic fabric by the yard at KikiTextiles and find a shine that fits your project. We carry gold, silver and bold colors, so you can order fabric by the yard and start sewing this week.

The gold metallic fabric adds a warm glow to eveningwear. If you prefer a cooler tone, Silver metallic fabric looks sharp on dresses, tops and stage looks.

If you are new to shimmer, start with Black Stretch Lurex. Order a $1 sample first if you want to see the shine in person.

Metallic Fabric by Texture, Stretch & Weave

Metallic woven fabric feels crisp and holds its shape well. It works for jackets, skirts and structured dresses.

For more movement, try Metallic mesh fabric. It drapes lightly and is airy. Try layering it over satin or a lining for a softer glow. 

A metallic weave fabric gives an even, flat sparkle that suits clean, simple designs.

Weight of the fabric changes the way fabric behaves, you can go with lighter weight for a flow around the body. Heavier picks stand away from it and hold a clean line.

If stretching matters, go for a stretch fabric for fitted dresses and leggings. For dance pieces, look for 4-way stretch metallic fabric and check each listing for its stretch details.

Look at this quick guide before you make a purchase.

Lamé, Lurex, Brocade & Metallic Mesh

Lame fabric has a smooth, mirror-like face. It suits gowns, stage looks and bold costumes. Try gold lamé for a rich glow or silver lamé for a sleek finish. You may also see it listed as Lamé fabric.

Shoppers who search for metallic fabric lame usually want that same high shine.

If your project needs a softer sparkle, Rust Metallic Lurex gives you a warm, earthy shine. For a bolder pop, Red Metallic Lurex Fabric works well for party dresses and costumes.

Metallic brocade fabric adds raised patterns and a rich, formal feel. Use it for corsets, coats and statement skirts.

Find Metallic Fabric for Dresses, Costumes & Cosplay

Try lame fabric for a Hollywood-style glow if you are looking for a party dress. You can also pick metallic gold fabric to warm things up. Both pair well with black, cream, or deep green.

When building a costume fabric list, Metallic lame fabric works for capes, armor panels and stage wear. It reflects light, so it stands out from the crowd.

Cosplayers often reach for metallic silver fabric when they build robots, space suits and fantasy armor. It works well as cosplay fabric because it gives a hard, polished look.

Think about the finished look before you buy. A fitted gown needs stretch. A cape needs body and shine. Match the fabric to the garment, then buy a little extra for mistakes.

Use this short list when you are not sure which pick fits. 

• Dresses: gold or silver in a stretch style.

• Costumes: lame for shine and mesh for layers.

• Cosplay: silver for armor and sci fi builds.

• Dancewear: look for extra stretch.

Style Gold & Silver Metallic Fabric for Statement Looks

Try styling gold metallic fabric with black or cream, then let the glow do the talking. Metallic shine works best with a simple base.

Silver metallic fabric looks sharp with navy, white or soft pink. Try it on a wrap top or a slim skirt.

Try contrast. A metallic gold fabric sash on a silver dress adds a clean accent. You can also put a metallic silver fabric bodice under a metallic mesh fabric overlay. That adds depth without extra bulk.

Texture mixing works too. A metallic brocade fabric collar adds richness. A metallic woven fabric belt keeps the waist neat. Add a metallic weave fabric panel to balance the look.
