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.
What a colour. Sitting somewhere between dusky mauve, muted berry and antique rose, this 100% cotton twill is unusual enough to make a garment feel special while still being remarkably easy to wear. The fine twill weave gives the surface a smooth, softly textured finish, and at 178gsm it feels beautifully soft and supple rather than like a traditional heavy cotton twill. There’s enough body to hold a good shape, but it still falls into lovely relaxed folds.
At a generous 160cm wide, this would be gorgeous made into shirts, shirt dresses, relaxed trousers, skirts, jumpsuits, overshirts and lightweight jackets. The colour works particularly well for transitional wardrobes, pairing beautifully with cream, chocolate, navy, charcoal and denim. Sometimes you buy a fabric because it’s sensible; this is the sort you buy because the colour has already talked you into it.
