Description
This one has me thinking of Roman Holiday: Audrey Hepburn, a little black and white dress, dark sunglasses and a Vespa somewhere in the background. This beautiful Italian 100% silk has that same effortless, timeless feel. The black ground is scattered with irregular soft white spots, rather than perfect polka dots, which gives the design a slightly more relaxed, hand drawn character. There is just a whisper of sheen across the surface when it catches the light, enough to remind you that this is a very lovely silk without making it look overly glossy.
At approximately 65gsm, it is light, fluid and wonderfully soft, with the sort of movement that makes you want to choose a pattern with a little swish. We can see it as a tea dress with a full skirt, a bias cut midi, a pussy bow blouse, a beautiful shirt or even wide, flowing sleeves. Black and white never really dates, but those imperfect spots stop it feeling prim or predictable. Add red lipstick and enormous sunglasses if you're committed to the Roman holiday of it all.

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.
