Sewing Tips
For best results, use a stretch or ballpoint needle appropriate for the fabric, along with a stretch-compatible stitch or serger. Test your stitches on a scrap before beginning your project.
Pay attention to the direction of the ribs and the velour nap when cutting your pattern pieces. Keeping all pieces in the same direction will help maintain a consistent appearance throughout your garment.
Test pressing on a scrap using low heat and a pressing cloth. Avoid applying excessive pressure directly to the velour surface or metallic threads.
Care Instructions
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water (maximum 30°C / 86°F) using a mild detergent.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Drying: Lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Ironing: Avoid ironing whenever possible. If necessary, test low heat on the reverse side using a pressing cloth. Never iron directly on the velour or metallic threads.
- Additional Care: Do not wring, twist or scrub the fabric. Turn garments inside out before washing to help preserve the metallic finish.
We recommend testing a small fabric swatch before washing your finished garment to ensure the best results.

We’ve recently updated our shipping options to give you more flexibility and competitive rates. At checkout, you can now choose from multiple carriers — including Canada Post, ICS Courrier, Canpar, Purolator, FedEx, UPS, and more.
Shipping fees are automatically calculated based on the weight of your order, with several delivery options and prices available.
If a carrier does not service your address, we may need to use an alternative option, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.
For remote or rural areas where delivery costs are higher, additional fees may apply. In these cases, we will provide proof of the shipping costs to ensure transparency.
Other Provinces in Canada, USA, and International Shipping
For customers in other Canadian provinces, the USA, or internationally, we offer a range of shipping options through various carriers. The customer is responsible for selecting their preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note that our system provides an estimated shipping cost at checkout, which may not always reflect the actual shipping charges.
In cases of oversized orders, shipments to rural or remote areas, or delivery to P.O. boxes, the final shipping cost may differ. If this occurs, we will contact you directly with the updated shipping cost, which will be the responsibility of the customer.
Import Duties & Customs Fees (USA & International Orders)
All orders shipped outside of Canada — including to the United States — may be subject to import duties, customs fees, taxes and other charges assessed by the destination country’s customs authorities. These charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost and are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Customers agree to pay any duties, taxes, fees, or charges required by the destination country in order for customs to release the package. Failure to pay such charges may result in your order being returned or abandoned by the carrier, and no refunds will be issued for duties or unused shipping fees.
We strive to provide clear communication and ensure your shipping experience is seamless. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at: info@lestissees.com

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable. Missing or pulled knit stitches on the wrong side of the fabric that do not distort the face are also considered acceptable. Additionally, fabric cut at 1 to 3 cm from the edge is acceptable. Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
We cannot cancel or refund orders once we've cut your fabric. If a refund is necessary, a 5% administration fee of your total bill will be charged.
We cannot offer refunds or compensation for items purchased a few days before they go on sale.
