The styles were new but fine metal threads had been used in cloth for at least centuries. At least for royals.

Oddly, matelasse (pronounced here as "metalasse") doesn't necessarily have metal in it. It is a style of weaving that created quiling or "poofy" patterns.
I'm reminded of cloth of gold, such an amazing thing!

I was expecting the Gwendolyn Christie line. She is best known for playing Captain Phasma and Brianna of Tarth.

Ended up here trying to figure out how to make cloth from heavier material to simulate Goku’s weighted clothing training from the anime called, “Dragon Ball Z.”

[@jemandjemand2362]

you can wax the clothes to make them appear heavier
