- Ocean Harbor Stripe Cotton Jersey - Something really cool happens with stripes for this dress. The bodice is cut with the stripes going horizontal, but the skirt portion is cut on the bias to create the tie-front look, so the stripes run along the diagonal. The illusion adds even more interest to an already fantastic pattern and is ideal for a casual summer. The gray and white stripe hints at a nautical bateau top, plus the cotton will keep you cool and comfy every time you wear it!
- Moss Cotton Modal Jersey - Moss green is such a spring color with its hints of yellow and muted tones. Brighter than a khaki, the color is lush and alive, while still being understated. In our favorite cotton modal jersey, the fabric has both strength and softness and a healthy dose of spandex gives it great stretch. Go for green with this fantastic fabric!
