Description

Long, sweeping leaves painted in bold black brushstrokes and washes of warm mocha brown run across a soft cream ground on this 145cm wide woven viscose. At 130gsm it's light and fluid, with a smooth hand and a gentle lustre that catches the light as it moves. The leaves look drawn with a loaded brush, with streaky, broken edges, so the print reads as painterly rather than crisp. The overall effect is a neutral palette with plenty of contrast: earthy, grown-up and easy to wear.

It drapes beautifully and falls close to the body without clinging, which is exactly what you want from a good dress viscose. The print is applied to one side only. The reverse shows a soft grey ghost of the design, so keep track of your right side when cutting. The leaves flow mostly in one direction, and they're generously sized, so allow a little extra if you want to match across seams. Like most viscose it can shift on the cutting table, so handle it with a few extra pins.

What to make with it

This is a natural for dresses that rely on movement: a gathered midi, a wrap dress or a loose, easy shirt dress like the Wardrobe By Me Big Shirt Dress, where the length of the leaves can really show off. The Named Taimi Dress also suits it nicely, and the soft drape keeps any gathers light rather than bulky.

For something smaller, try a relaxed blouse or the Tessuti Athina Top, which lets the print do the talking against simple lines. Wear it with black or chocolate trousers and you have an outfit that looks considered with very little effort.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

Dry Clean - Any Solvent Except Trichloroethylene.
