Description
A beautiful 100% pure Indian linen yarn-dyed and laundered chambray gingham check in a striking Tangerine colourway. Fresh, vibrant and a little unexpected, this modern take on a classic gingham is perfect for Spring/Summer sewing.
From the Lady McElroy collection, this beautiful linen reflects the quality and attention to detail that have made the brand a favourite with dressmakers for many years. Renowned for their exceptional fabrics, Lady McElroy is a name synonymous with quality, creativity and beautiful textiles.
Pre-washed for an exceptional feel and appearance, this fabric undergoes a premium stonewashing process that sets it apart from standard linens. Laundered with abrasive stones to gently soften the fibres, the result is a beautifully characterful cloth with a subtle lived-in texture and a sophisticated matt finish. While this additional step adds to the production time and cost, it creates a luxury fabric that only becomes more beautiful with wear and washing.
Retaining the characteristic texture and body that linen lovers appreciate, this fabric offers enough structure for beautifully shaped garments. Equally suited to dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, tunics, trousers and relaxed separates, it is a wonderfully versatile choice for Spring/Summer sewing. For a contemporary look, pair wide-leg or barrel-leg trousers with a simple boxy shirt or top in the same fabric to create an effortlessly stylish co-ord, with each piece working just as beautifully as a separate. Whether made into an easy-to-wear daytime dress paired with sandals and a sun hat, or dressed up for an evening out with statement jewellery and your favourite summer accessories, this fabric transitions effortlessly from day to night.
A pleasure to sew, press and finish, this linen is ideal for creating crisp collars, cuffs and other beautifully defined details while maintaining the relaxed character that makes linen such an enduring favourite.
Naturally breathable and ideal for the warmer months, linen remains a timeless seasonal staple.
