- White Silky Noil - The little nubs of this noil will add texture and interest to the blouse or dress and the viscose will add a nice amount of drape to the bodice. The linen will keep the structure of the sleeve so you can have just the right amount of volume for your look. Plus, white is a classic - bright and versatile. If you want a blouse to wear with everything, this is the fabric for you!
- Navy/Coral Pointillist Stripe Viscose Crepe - Sometimes I struggle with coming up with names for all the fabric. Is it a polka dot, a speckle, and abstract print? For this print, pointillist immediately jumped out, as the stripe bands are actually made of little dots of coral, like if Georges Seurat decided to take a stab at fabric design. I love how the small dots create a large scale pattern on the navy background, and I think the vertical stripes will look amazing turned into a dress. You could also play with the direction of the stripe on the hem ruffle for a truly unique look. A lovely fabric befitting a lovely pattern!
