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.
A beautifully made Italian ex-designer pure linen in classic black, finely woven with a smooth, refined finish while still retaining the subtle natural texture you want from linen. At approximately 163gsm, it is a lovely dress weight: light enough to feel comfortable and move well, but with enough substance to make a proper garment rather than something overly fine or flimsy.
This is one of those enormously useful black fabrics that can become almost anything. Think a simple linen dress, beautifully cut shirt, wide-leg trousers, full skirt, jumpsuit or an easy unstructured jacket. Smart enough for impromptu gatherings, relaxed enough for everything else, and in pure linen it will only gain more character with wear.
