- Noir Botanical Rayon Challis - We really do love a rayon challis, especially ones with botanical prints. This white and black challis is stark and all the more stunning for its starkness, like a Franz Kline painting but in floral form. The fabric itself is light and soft, with a semi fluid drape and slightly translucent look. In neutrals that will pair with just about everything, you may have just met your new favorite blouse fabric!
- Lemon Yellow Swiss Dot Cotton - If you want just a hint of texture in your blouse look no further than swiss dot. Little bumps of thread dot this lemon yellow voile, and it creates a beautiful polka dot pattern that will really shine. The fabric is wonderfully lightweight and soft, and your blouse will be breezy and airy, perfect for getting a jump on Spring sewing. A beautiful choice!
- Maple Petal Printed Cotton Gauze - This gauze doesn't have the crinkled texture you may be used to. Instead, the smoother hand and dry feel of the fabric is similar to shirting, but much lighter. Printed with a muted blush pink petal pattern, like daisy petals strewn across the face of the fabric, this fabric is subtle yet stunning. Summer weight and neutral hues make this an undeniable option for this button-up!
