Description

Smart, understated and with just a whisper of pink, this beautifully soft polyester and viscose suiting is a modern take on traditional black tailoring. Set against a deep black background, exceptionally fine blush pink pinstripes are spaced approximately ¾ inch apart, creating a delicate, sophisticated contrast. At 260gsm, this smooth, gently lustrous cloth has a lovely fluid drape, gliding and floating beautifully while still offering enough body for a polished finish.

Combining the breathable comfort of viscose with the easy-care, crease-resistant, minimal-ironing qualities of polyester, this is tailoring without the fuss. Perfect for pull-on pleated trousers, oversized or fitted blazers, waistcoats, skirts and smart dresses. The barely-there pink stripe gives classic black suiting a gentle twist, making it just as suitable for everyday office wear as a beautifully cut two-piece suit.

What to make with it

Ideal for beautifully tailored pieces without the stiffness of heavier traditional suitings. Think smart wide-leg trousers, cigarette trousers, fitted blazers, waistcoats, pencil skirts, A-line skirts and structured dresses.

Recommended sewing patterns: The Assembly Line Blazer, Merchant & Mills Sanda Jacket, Closet Core Pietra Pants, Friday Pattern Company Heather Blazer and suitable tailored waistcoat patterns. Pattern suitability should be checked against the individual fabric requirements.

Recommended notions: Matching polyester sewing thread, lightweight fusible interfacing for collars, waistbands and facings, coordinating lining for jackets and waistcoats, trouser or skirt zips, suitable buttons, and hook-and-bar fastenings for tailored trousers.

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.
