I think the "meat of the sandwich" layer is called an interlining. Often times it's sewn directly to the fashion fabric and then you treat them as one. It can be used to give structure but also to line (say) eyelet fabric.
Awesome dress but so much work! Great job! I made something with this fabric but I was too afraid to sew it. I'm a novice and I was afraid I'd break the fibers with my machine. Is there a trick to it? And other than sewing could you recommend how I could get the edges not to fray? I used glue for my simple garment but it didn't work the best. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks! I had no problem sewing over the fibers with my machine, I couldn't find any broken fibers. I left my edges raw because I was on a time crunch but I considered stitching a bit above the raw edge. Sometimes you can use fray check or nail polish for stuff like that but definitely try it on a sample first
That's a good idea, I just went upstairs to check with some reflective trim and the result wasn't very different from shiny satin. You could still try it though. Good luck with your dress!
When you’re worried someone will steal the spotlight at your wedding, BECOME the spotlight.
Hahaha, I love it!

This dress turned out amazing!!! I think Emmie would look good in a light up outfit.
21:05 every project requires a blood sacrifice. 😂
What a fun dress! You made many great memories that night. No one will forget what you wore to the reception.
It was a great night!

So what if I used a reflective fabric underneath the fiber optic layer? I'm sewing my own wedding dress too!

do you have a link to where you got the fabric?
I added it to the video description!
