Hi, You might like to try where they have ballet costumes made.My niece had some shimmery/plastic fabric on a tutu but it was when she was little. Also try the Bride Shop in Gale St.<br />Mylar is used like applique,and the sparkle of it shines through the stitching.<br />Lots of luck in finding something suitable<br />Have a great day<br />From Bev

Our Pietermaritzburg Bernina shop stocks it. Maybe the other Bernina shops may have it

You can also use organza fabric(it cuts away quiet easily) also available in glitter that shines through beautifully
