Colour:
This stunning black mesh lace reminded us of a wickedly bubbling magic potion. Full of dark and mysterious tones, like a mesmerizing black lava lamp. Black lace always adds drama and is perfect as stand stand-alone garment or simply as an accent or hint.
Properties:
Black Lava Bubbles is a lightweight, mesh lace with irregular, ovular and circular semi-solid spots throughout. This differing translucency is what gives this lace its fun style which is perfect for decadent and flirty attire. This mesmerising beauty has a lightweight delicious drape and is stable width and lengthwise, with excellent bias drape and ease.
Garment Suggestions:
Put some dark and mysterious enchantment into your wardrobe and create softly flowing styles; long line, full gathered maxi dresses, pretty '70s inspired midi dresses with full bishop sleeves and high necklines, cute Wednesday Adams style dresses or go for full glamour and create frilled and flowing ballgown with a Spanish dancer' drama and fit for a red carpet event.
Layer this fine fabric over fitted silhouettes such as classic pencil or sheath dresses constructed in silk taffeta or for unstructured styles use a lightweight silky scuba or fine soft touch jersey. This will look amazing over orange or red!
Other Uses:
Create fun Halloween costumes inspired by all your ghoulish heroines with this Mesh Lace.
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
