Stretch fabric with black iridescent silver rhinestones

The stretch fabric with iridescent silver rhinestones on a black background is an elegant and sophisticated fashion fabric, ideal for making up party wear and designs that call for a touch of sparkle. It features small fusible rhinestone appliqués evenly distributed across a plain black base, creating a delicate effect of sparkling dots with silver and multicoloured reflections that really stand out with movement and light.

Made up of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, this fabric stands out for its stretch, softness and fluid drape, moulding comfortably to the body and allowing you to create garments with movement and a flattering silhouette. Its finish combines the elegance of black with the sparkle of small decorative crystals, offering a sophisticated look without being overly ornate.

The fabric has an approximate total width of 158 cm, with a rhinestone-decorated section measuring approximately 138 cm. The 10 cm on each side are left without embellishments, an important detail to bear in mind when calculating the quantity of fabric required and laying out the cutting patterns.

The small, shiny appliqués are heat-sealed to the fabric, not sewn on, providing a uniform decorative finish. It is recommended that the fabric be handled and made up with care to ensure the embellishments remain securely attached.

We recommend using a stretch stitch or a lightweight zigzag stitch to maintain the elasticity of the seams. When cutting, lay the fabric on a flat surface and avoid placing the seams directly over the appliqués. If necessary, carefully remove any rhinestones that coincide with the seam allowances. The undecorated sides can be used for certain pieces or finishes.

Washing and care: due to the fusible appliqués, it is recommended to hand wash in cold water, inside out and without rubbing. Do not use bleach, do not wring out and avoid the tumble dryer. Air dry, preferably flat and in the shade. Do not iron directly onto the rhinestones or use steam on the embellishments, as the heat may affect how well they are fixed.

A black stretch fabric with rhinestones perfect for those looking to combine comfort, drape and an elegant sparkle in their fashion and party wear creations.
