- Terracotta Gingham Cotton - If you're feeling a little country-core, gingham is always a great option, but this version ups the ante with a bold, earthy orange. A twist on the tradtional, this fabric has a lovely rustic feel. The medium drape of the fabric will give some flow to the top and shorts, and the dry linen hand will ensure it is cool and breathable as you move into warmer weather. A playful fabric for a summer playset!
- Indigo Shibori Dyed Cotton - This Japanese cotton is so fine and dreamy! Plus you can get the look of home-dying without the possibility of staining our kitchen. Lightweight and soft, it has been shibori dyed for a subtle tone on tone look that is like looking at the clouds at dusk. The deep blue is wonderfully saturated and will look amazing as a matching set of tank and shorts. A complete outfit with a tie dye twist!
- Nighttime Forest Rayon Slub - This rayon slub is one of our favorite substrates. Mixed with Linen, it has a similar feel to our classic silky noil, but with a longer fiber for a bit more structure. The medium, flexible drape will show off the shape of the tank while still being soft and thin enough for the gathered waist of the shorts. Plus, the black and white print, sort of like a photo negative of a forest, is unique and wonderful. A perfect botanical for the summer months and beyond!
