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.
The ultimate in timeless luxury, this 100% silk velvet is woven in a deep, sophisticated black with a beautifully dense silk pile that transforms in the light. Rather than appearing flat, the surface absorbs light in the shadows while reflecting it from the raised nap, creating remarkable depth and a subtle lustre that brings the fabric to life. The result is a black that feels rich, elegant and endlessly wearable, with all the unmistakable character of genuine silk velvet.
At 125cm wide and approximately 240gsm, this exceptional silk velvet drapes effortlessly while offering enough body for impeccably tailored garments. The luxurious silk pile is wonderfully soft to the touch and behaves beautifully under the sewing machine, producing clean seams and a flawless finish when handled with care. Naturally flattering on the figure, the fluid drape skims rather than clings, making it an outstanding choice for evening gowns, elegant jackets, tailored trousers, skirts and occasion wear where sophistication is everything.
