Description
British textile design house Lady McElroy are renowned for creating distinctive prints on exceptional quality dressmaking fabrics, and Life in Venice is a beautiful example of both.
Set against a soft inky navy background, this beautiful print evokes the romance of the Italian coastline. Delicate watercolour illustrations of colourful hillside villages, gently bobbing boats and cascading bougainvillea are brought together in a wonderfully artistic design that’s full of charm and character. Soft shades of blush pink, sage green, olive, muted aqua and warm stone sit beautifully against the dusky navy backdrop, creating an elegant colour palette that feels timeless and effortlessly sophisticated.
The fabric itself is simply exquisite. Woven from 100% spun viscose challis lawn, it has a luxurious silk-like handle and is exceptionally fine and lightweight. It has a beautiful fluidity that creates graceful movement in every garment, allowing it to drape into the softest folds. Wonderfully fluid and elegant, it’s the perfect choice for garments where drape is everything.
Whether you’re sewing a floaty dress, an elegant blouse, a swishy skirt, relaxed wide-leg trousers or lightweight summer shorts, this beautiful fabric allows every garment to move exactly as it should. If you love the look and feel of silk but are looking for something that’s easier to sew and care for, this fabric is an exceptional choice.
