Description
Lady McElroy is a British designer textile brand renowned for producing exceptional quality dressmaking fabrics, combining distinctive prints with beautiful base cloths. Their collections are synonymous with quality, making them a favourite amongst dressmakers who appreciate fabrics that are every bit as lovely to sew as they are to wear.
This beautiful sandwashed silk-mix crepe de chine combines the luxurious feel of silk with the fluid drape and breathability of ECOVERO™ viscose. Wonderfully soft and fluid, it skims the body beautifully and feels every bit as luxurious as it looks, making it equally suited to everyday wear and special occasions.
The print is a richly painterly floral design set against a deep charcoal background, featuring shades of dusty sage, taupe, magenta, fuchsia, golden yellow, burnt sienna and cream. Romantic and timeless, it has a classic elegance that will never date.
The fabric has a gentle lustre rather than a high shine, together with a subtle hammered texture that adds depth and interest without distracting from the beautiful print. Lightweight and beautifully drapey, it falls into soft folds and gathers with ease, making it a pleasure to sew and wear.
It would make beautiful blouses, shirts, wrap dresses, tea dresses, skirts, wide-leg trousers, jumpsuits and flowing kaftans. It’s also an excellent choice for occasion wear, whether you’re sewing something for a wedding, a day at the races, a cruise, or another special celebration.
