Care Guide
Cotton/viscose brocade coutil; you don't need to pre-wash this fabric unless you plan to wash the garment. Wash in cold water and if you put it in a dryer it will shrink up to 6.25%. Press the fabric while it is still damp, so don't completely dry it
I had never used coutil (or made a corset) before this project, so when I first got my hands on this fabric I was immediately taken by how thick it is! It has definite heft to it, and NO STRETCH; even barely any on the bias! It made the canvas I had used for my toile look like chiffon. The pattern on the fabric is subtle and elegant. I found it takes pencil marks pretty well even being black, and I was able to use the eraser to get the marks off too! When I ironed it gently to get the folds out from shipping, the fabric seemed to stiffen after cooling, but softened up again when I started manipulating and working with it.
The fabric was wonderful to work with, very stable, and I had no issues with it whatsoever. The resulting corset is sturdy and beautiful, and the best part is I have enough coutil left over to make another one!
I really love this black rose print, and I can only find it here. Please don't stop stocking this!
