Description
This beautiful fine white cotton lawn features embroidered flowers and leaves arranged in a flowing, swirling pattern across the surface. The embroidery has a lightly tufted finish, creating a visible 3-D texture that adds dimension and interest without feeling overly heavy. This gives the fabric a little extra body while still keeping the light, delicate handle you would expect from a fine cotton.
It has a soft drape and, although not fully see-through, it does have a slight sheerness. You may wish to line it depending on your project - for example, lining is recommended for dresses or skirts, whereas many people may choose not to line a blouse or top. One of the photographs shows a hand placed underneath the fabric to help give a realistic idea of opacity.
This is a really special and quite unusual fabric with a feminine, slightly vintage feel. The textured embroidery makes it a real eye-catcher.
Ideal for summer sewing, it would make beautiful blouses, tops, dresses and skirts.
The fabric is approximately 145cm wide. Along each selvedge edge there is an approximate 10cm section of plain white cotton lawn with no embroidery, which is useful if you want to incorporate plain areas into plackets, facings or other design details.
Soft, fine and delicate, this is a truly stunning fabric that will create very special garments.
