Description

Fine crinkled ribs run the length of this woven like the grain in a piece of polished wood, and the colour sitting in them is a deep wine red: a black cherry shade with a hint of plum, darker in the troughs and warmer, almost claret, where the light catches each ridge. It's a lightweight 150cm wide cloth at 110gsm, cool and silky in the hand, and it moves in long, liquid folds that hang close to the body rather than standing proud of it.

The blend is 47% rayon, 36% Tencel and 17% nylon, so you get the slippery smoothness of cellulose fibres with a little nylon in the mix. What makes this colourway special is how rich it looks without trying. A wine this deep reads as dressed up, yet the crinkled surface keeps it soft and relaxed rather than formal. It's the colour for autumn weddings, Christmas lunch and anything you'd like to wear with gold jewellery, and it flatters most complexions far more kindly than a bright red.

What to make with it

Gathered and tiered shapes make the most of this drape, so a Named Taimi dress in wine would be lovely for an evening do, with the ribs running down the skirt to lengthen the line. For something simpler, the Tessuti Athina top lets the colour and texture do the talking, and looks just as good tucked into black trousers as worn loose over jeans.

If you'd like more cloth to play with, a Wardrobe By Me Big Shirt Dress cut generously will fall in soft folds. Bias-cut slip skirts, wide palazzo trousers and a floaty kimono jacket to throw over a camisole all suit this fabric too.

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.

Dry Clean - Any Solvent Except Trichloroethylene.
