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.
Quality shows immediately in this beautifully soft marl grey jersey. Knitted from viscose and silk, it has an exceptionally smooth, almost buttery handle with a subtle lustre and the sort of fluid drape that falls rather than flops. The grey is softly marled rather than flat, giving the surface a little depth while keeping it wonderfully understated. At 194gsm it has enough substance to feel reassuringly good quality, yet remains supple and elegant.
Generously wide at 180cm, with around 30% stretch across the width and a little natural mechanical give lengthways, it would be superb for draped dresses, luxurious T-shirts, long-sleeved tops, skirts, wide-leg trousers, soft jumpsuits and elevated loungewear. This is the sort of jersey where the simplicity of the garment can be the whole point; the cloth does all the work. Supersoft, beautifully fluid and quality in every stretch.
