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.
Soft tailoring is exactly where this fabric comes into its own. Woven in a classic herringbone pattern, the alternating charcoal, mid-grey and pale grey yarns create a beautifully understated surface with far more depth than a flat grey suiting. Made from a polyester and viscose blend with elastane, it has a soft, smooth handle and a lovely supple drape, while the subtle two-way stretch adds that bit of comfort you really notice in a finished garment.
At approximately 297gsm, it has enough substance for proper tailoring without feeling stiff or overly formal. Think wide-leg trousers, relaxed blazers, waistcoats, skirts, pinafore dresses and beautifully cut suits. The herringbone is timeless, but the softness and gentle stretch make it much easier to wear than traditional tailoring cloth. Particularly good for those trousers you intend to look smart in but would also quite like to sit down in.
