A method of molding a composition comprising a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP) comprising mesogens； providing a mold having a mold cavity, with a feature cavity (43) comprising a fine feature chamber； heating the composition to form molten composition； filling the fine feature chamber with molten composition moving at a flow velocity that causes flow alignment of at least a portion of the mesogens in the molten TLCP filling the fine feature chamber (49), relative to a flow direction of the moving molten composition； and solidifying the molten composition such that mesogens of at least the solidified TLCP in the fine feature chamber maintain their flow alignment. A molded article comprising a body and a 3-dimensional structural feature protruding out from the body and comprising a fine feature element having a minor dimension, with TLCP mesogens across the minor dimension being in a flow aligned state.
