- Sky Blue Viscose Linen Slub - In the Northeast, the first sight of a robin means Spring is truly on its way. So it only makes sense to hint at robin's egg blue in our boxes. And this blue is so serene and soft, I can't get enough of it. The fabric itself is similar to the viscose linen noil that we've in other boxes, but with a longer thread length, smoother face, and tighter weave. Those changes mean a little more body and a slightly crisper drape, all the better to show off the fit and flare shape of this dress and add a little flounce to your outfit. If you're looking for Spring pastels, you really can't go wrong with this option!
- Mauve Abstract Floral Rayon Lawn - There's a lovely prairie feel to this rayon lawn, one of my favorite substrates. The directional print features white, blue, orange, and pink flowers alongside foliage and hashmarks for a print that is all together unique and unexpected. The deep mauve background ties the whole thing together and gives the fabric a Spring feel, like wisteria or lilac blooming after the weather turns warm. The fabric itself has a smooth, tightly woven hand and soft drape that will match this pattern perfectly for a dress that will become a much loved addition to your warm weather wardrobe!
