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.
An exceptionally fine Italian ex-designer cotton shirting in a beautifully clean, soft white. The surface has been lightly brushed, giving it an extraordinarily soft, almost peachy handle without taking away from the crisp refinement of a good shirting cloth. Look closely and there is a very fine herringbone running through the weave; it is barely there at first glance, but catches the light just enough to give the fabric depth and that unmistakable sense of quality.
At approximately 128gsm, this is light enough for shirts and blouses but has a lovely softness and substance that opens it up to dresses, gathered skirts, pyjamas and relaxed summer separates too. The pure, bright white makes the most of its subtle woven texture, and the finish really is superb. It's one of those seemingly simple white cottons where the difference is all in the cloth – beautifully woven, wonderfully soft and considerably more special than an ordinary plain shirting.
