How it behaves
- Becomes flexible when damp, allowing it to be shaped or blocked
- Dries hardened to shaped structured forms
- Lightweight while maintaining structural integrity
- The open weave allows the material to hold shape without adding weight to forms.
Ideal for
layering with a solid colour sinamay for a texture effect or on its own for an open airy style.
Traditionally used in millinery to block. Equally effective in theatrical or costume sculptural designs and decorative elements.
Not ideal for
Forms that require a drape or fluid movement.
Often paired with
