GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
A beautifully soft 100% cotton shirting in a deep, inky navy, woven with the tiniest diamond dobby pattern across the surface. The detail is wonderfully subtle; from a distance it reads almost as a plain navy, but up close those little woven diamonds give the cloth texture and depth without making it feel fussy. It has a smooth, soft finish and a lightweight handle at approximately 171gsm, with enough substance to feel reassuringly good quality.
At 142cm wide, this is a very useful shirting fabric for both menswear and womenswear. It would make a particularly smart button-down shirt or blouse, but has enough body for shirt dresses, relaxed tops, lightweight pyjamas and summer separates too. The tiny woven pattern gives a classic navy something a little more interesting, while remaining understated enough to wear again and again.
