GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
This is one of those cottons where the quality is immediately apparent. An ex designer Italian cloth, it is exceptionally fine and smooth, sitting somewhere between a cotton lawn and a voile in handle. At approximately 67gsm, it is beautifully lightweight with a soft, fluid feel, yet has the clean finish and refinement of a very high quality shirting.
The ivory white ground is scattered with large decorative floral medallions in brilliant turquoise, cobalt, scarlet, lime, olive, lilac and warm ochre. The generous spacing keeps such a colourful design feeling surprisingly fresh. A rather special cloth for statement shirts and blouses, but equally lovely for floaty dresses, gathered skirts and summer pieces where you want something fine and elegant rather than an everyday cotton.
