Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lame is a type of fabric woven or knit with thin ribbons of metallic yarns, as opposed to guimpe, where the ribbons are wrapped around a fibre yarn. It is usually gold or silver in color; sometimes copper lame is seen. Lame comes in different varieties, depending on the composition of the other threads in the fabric. Common examples are tissue lame, hologram lame and pearl lame. An issue with lame is that it is subject to seam or yarn slippage, making it less than ideal for garments with frequent usage. Lame is often used in evening and dress wear and in theatrical and dance costumes. It was, at one time, ubiquitous as a favorite material in futuristic costumes for science fiction television and films.
