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 richly woven floral brocade with a dramatic black ground filled with flowers and foliage in cerise purple, vivid red, deep pink and dusky blue-grey. The design is woven into the cloth rather than printed, giving the flowers a wonderful raised texture and subtle lustre as they catch the light. At 216gsm, it is a structured midweight fabric with enough body to hold a strong silhouette without feeling excessively heavy or rigid.
This is one of those fabrics where a relatively simple pattern will let the cloth do all the hard work. It would make a fabulous tailored jacket, fitted dress, A-line or pleated skirt, waistcoat, occasion coat or smart pair of shorts. The brilliant cerise and red flowers positively jump from the black ground, while the darker foliage stops it becoming overly sweet. Bold, beautifully textured and very difficult to ignore.
