Create the look of the future with this Silver Chainmail Fabric. The 1960's saw the first chainmail dress. The early 2000's were obsessed with Paris Hilton's slinky outfit. Now, the shimmering metallic fabric is back in full force! Used by designers Versace and Balmain, and worn by Michelle Obama and Kylie Jenner, the water-like fluidity of the piece makes it an elegant and edgy go-to. Thin with a heavy weight, create couture dresses, gowns, bags, tops, mini skirts and more! Keep it sheer or insert a slip for more opacity. Note that the chainmail can be cut by standard scissors, but it will dull the blades. Please note that this fabric is sold as a tubular peice of chainmail. It is 18 inches long and measures about 29 inches wide when laid flat, for a total circumference of 59 inches.

Beautiful & to be handled is care.

"This chainmail is so soft & has incredible drape. It does need to be handled with extra care when cutting it and wearing it."

S B. (5/5)

Wow

"This fabric was a challenge to work with. It’s naturally very crappy and I was using it for a very structured garment which required me to baste this to a lot of more firmer fabrics. The effect was stunning though!"

Casey D. (5/5)

Q&A

How would you/what would you use to construct a garment with the chainmail fabric?
Hello Leslie, Thank you for contacting Moodfabrics.com To construct a garment with chainmail fabric, I would recommend using a few key techniques and materials: Pattern Design: Start with a clear pattern that accounts for the weight and drape of the chainmail. Adjustments may be needed to ensure the garment fits comfortably and moves well. Base Layer: Since chainmail can be heavy and may have rough edges, consider using a soft base layer underneath, such as a fitted bodysuit or padded fabric, to protect the skin and provide comfort. Sewing Techniques: Use a strong sewing machine with heavy-duty needles to handle the thickness of the chainmail. Reinforce seams to ensure durability, especially in areas that experience stress, like armholes and hems. Fastenings: Incorporate sturdy closures, like hooks or buckles, to securely fasten the garment. Ensure they are easy to use while maintaining the aesthetic of the chainmail. Finishing Touches: Consider adding decorative elements, such as embellishments or additional fabrics, to enhance the overall look while keeping the functional aspect of the chainmail. By combining these methods, you can create a unique and striking garment that showcases the beauty of chainmail fabric! Please let us know if you have any other questions. Moodfabrics.com CS Team
