Glamour is at the heart of this premium Fortaleza Black Lightweight Faux Patent Leather! Featuring a slick, shiny (but not metallic) face and a soft knit black backing, this material is a perfectly modern alternative to patent leather. With a stiffer drape and one-way stretch between selvages, close-fitting skirts, boxy jackets, or tight faux-leather pants are an easy choice for makes! Bags and shoes are possible, too! A lining won't be necessary for most projects, but don't let that stop you from using one to add structure to architectural bodices, voluminous bows, and so much more. Note: This product passed Prop 65 testing, meaning it's not known to contain harmful, carcinogenic chemicals.

Very lightweight fabric but it's nice!

I was looking for a patent leather effect and was not disappointed by the looks of the fabric. The fabric is very shiny. I was surprised, though, how lightweight it is, also stretchy in both directions. I used that for corset making so I obviously needed to line with thicker fabric (coutil). Like a latex, the fabric was very sticky to itself and any smooth surface. I handled that with baby powder when right side facing sewing was needed.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this fabric was to work with. Right sides together was super easy, but even right side out wasn’t a problem. It has some stretch but bounces back beautifully. Easy to cut. Exactly the sheen I was looking for. Photos are very accurate.
