Fabric research
I’m planning to cover the metal wire construction with a soft white fabric, that has good extension properties. I found three materials which are currently in the competition. From left to right, gaining in opacity: women’s stockings, a body suit and swimming fabric. Lets see which one is going to make it.
If you are going to cover a wire construction and need a fabric that will look nice, hold up and is not to expensive. Try suede cloth. Usually sells for $6-$8 per yard. Good luck on your project.
