Description
Life in Venice is one of those prints that captures your imagination the moment you see it. Printed onto Lady McElroy’s beautiful Marlie Lawn base, this fabric showcases a romantic watercolour-inspired scene of Venice, with elegant architecture, tranquil waterways and charming boats, all brought to life with vibrant bursts of bougainvillea in shades of pink, green and sunshine yellow. The soft pastel blue sky creates a dreamy backdrop, giving the entire design a beautifully artistic feel.
Lady McElroy is an English fabric brand synonymous with luxurious fabrics and distinctive prints, and this beautiful Marlie Lawn perfectly showcases the quality for which it is known. Wonderfully soft and smooth to the touch, this premium 100% cotton lawn feels luxurious against the skin whilst retaining just enough structure to hold shape beautifully. Whilst it has enough body to press crisp collars, cuffs and button plackets, it remains soft and fluid with a gentle drape that moves beautifully when worn. It also lends itself perfectly to gathers, tiers, ruffles and softly voluminous sleeves.
Lightweight, breathable and comfortable to wear, it’s an ideal choice for warm summer days, yet versatile enough to be layered throughout the seasons. Whether you're creating an elegant dress, a statement blouse, a skirt or a co-ordinated set, this fabric drapes beautifully while maintaining a polished finish.
The dress shown in the photographs is one of my personal favourites made from this fabric, and it’s easy to see why. The combination of the painterly Venetian landscape, colourful florals and the superb quality of Lady McElroy’s signature Marlie Lawn creates a fabric that feels every bit as special as the garment you choose to make from it.
