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.
Silky soft without being shiny, this 100% Tencel twill is one of those fabrics you find yourself absent-mindedly running your hand over. The finely woven twill has an exceptionally smooth, almost peach-skin handle with a soft matt surface and beautiful fluidity. Finished in a deep, versatile black and weighing approximately 147gsm, it feels light and supple but still has enough presence to make a beautifully polished garment.
This would make particularly lovely softly tailored trousers, relaxed suits, flowing skirts, dresses, shirts, blouses and jumpsuits. The twill construction gives it more substance than a very lightweight Tencel dress fabric, while that characteristic softness keeps everything relaxed and easy rather than crisp or rigid. Quite simply, it's lovely cloth. You'll understand the moment you get your hands on it.
