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.
Hot pink sets the scene for this gloriously bold floral jersey, with sweeping retro-style flowers and foliage in burnt orange, chocolate brown, plum, cream and flashes of olive. The almost 1970s-inspired design is big, confident and wonderfully cheerful, while the viscose and elastane knit keeps the cloth beautifully soft and fluid. At approximately 179gsm, it has a lovely balance of substance and drape, so it won't feel flimsy despite all that movement.
Stretching around 30% in both directions, it's comfortable, forgiving and made for garments that need to move with you. Think wrap dresses, jersey dresses, tops, skirts, wide-leg trousers, jumpsuits and statement sleeves. The larger print will really come alive on simple shapes and fuller silhouettes. Subtle it most certainly isn't, but sometimes subtle simply isn't invited.
