I used this fabric to line the inside of a Santisma Muerte embroidered organza mantilla, for added thickness in the head band area. It matched the organzas perfectly. Many thanks!

The seller packaged and shipped my order promptly but the Post Office dropped the ball and, I assume, lost the parcel. When I contacted the seller she immediately sent out another parcel, which arrived quickly. I'm very pleased with my purchases and would order from this shop again.

Bright and soft it’s thin but that means it has a lovely drape and flow
