- Tangerine Geometric Print Tencel Twill - Summer is a time to play with color, and boy does this color play! A bright, tangerine orange, it's sunshine in a fabric. A geometric print in a slightly darker orange adds a subtle hint of pattern, but this option is really all about the color. And it's only boosted by the cool, dry hand of the tencel and diagonal twill weave of the fabric. If you want a vibrant summer dress, this is the fabric for you!
- Faded Royal Washed Linen - Washed linen is one of our favorite fabrics because it's like sewing clothes that have already been broken in. The linen is soft and supple, with a slub weave and faded quality. On the lighter side of medium weight, it is heavy enough to not be translucent but light enough to keep you cool through the end of summer. Plus the color is luscious, a dark blue, almost like blue jeans that have been washed a bunch of times. For a classic dress, look no further!
- Black and White Pointillist Leaf Ecovero Twill - If you've noticed a pattern for these boxes, it's that I keep getting drawn to black and white botanicals. They're just so elegant! The classic pairing is represented here with an unusual take on the traditional leaf print. Tiny pointillist dots create the leaves as if each one was hand painted on the fabric. Used with this dress, you get a look that is simply gorgeous - your traditional black dress, accented with these large-scale fronds. A stunning dress you'll treasure in your closet!
