GBSB Ep4 Inspiration: Mexico Week
Colour, embroidery and bold details inspired our favourite fabrics, trims and patterns from episode 4 Mexico Week of the Sewing Bee.
This Italian 100% cupro has the silky handle and beautiful fluidity that makes cupro such a pleasure to wear. The print combines large scale paisley, florals and scrolling foliage in rich copper and rust against a deep chocolate black ground, with occasional touches of muted olive worked into the design. At approximately 120gsm, it is light and supple with a smooth surface and plenty of movement.
Sourced from an Italian designer deadstock collection, this is a rather special dress fabric and one that deserves a pattern with some room to show off that oversized paisley. The softness and drape would be wonderful for flowing dresses, wide leg trousers, blouses, shirts, skirts and luxurious pyjama style separates. It has all the impact of a bold print, but the dark ground and earthy copper palette make it surprisingly wearable.
