Fabric Options:
- Woodrose Cotton French Terry - This soft french terry has a looped back and smooth jersey face for the best of both worlds. The flexible drape will give just the right amount of structure to the top or dress, plus the color is so rich with a hint of earthiness, like rosehips in herbal tea. Snuggly and warm, we think it's a gorgeous fall fabric and we hope you agree!
- Ocean Harbor Stripe Cotton Jersey - Stripes and knits are a match made in heaven. Just ask the French Navy. This knit fabric, a twist on a traditional navy stripe, combines deep blue with bright turquoise for a look that is bold yet classic. Medium weight with just the right amount of body, this fabric is just waiting to be transformed into a gorgeous long sleeve top or comfy knit dress
