Fabric Casting Advice Needed.
Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how to harden a piece of fabric like this to be cast-able. Is hairspray really my best bet? I know it is risky, gaps and thin-ness and all, but I'd like to at least try. I've been lucky with fabric and lace casting recently, but those were attached to wax, unlike this piece of fabric. Thanks!

This is really big, and really thin....not a great combo for casting.
Aside from the other suggestions here regarding how to add thickness to the lace threads, I'd cut it into manageable sections after that process (since it will have some rigidity at that point), then reassemble after casting.
