Description
A spectacular Italian ex designer 100% silk, woven in a fine hopsack construction that gives the surface a little more texture and presence than you might expect from such a lightweight cloth. Across the warm khaki ground is an exuberant botanical print, with oversized painterly flowers and foliage in blazing orange, turquoise, teal, emerald, yellow, cerise and inky blue. There is so much going on, yet the earthy background pulls everything together beautifully. It looks more like a piece of artwork than a conventional floral.
At approximately 85gsm, it remains light with a lovely fluidity, but the fine hopsack weave gives it enough character to really showcase the scale of the print. This is the fabric for the dress everyone asks about: think a sweeping maxi, dramatic kaftan, statement shirt, wide leg trousers or a simple column dress where the silk does all the talking. It would also make an extraordinary lightweight jacket or luxurious oversized scarf. With silk of this calibre, we would keep the pattern relatively uncomplicated and give those enormous flowers as much uninterrupted space as possible. You certainly won't disappear into the background wearing this one.

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.
