- Buttercup Daisy Rayon Poplin - A retro-inspired print, this fabric combines a soft, butter yellow with gray and white daisies for a look that is simply divine. The rayon poplin (one of our favorite fabrics), is lusciously light with a soft drape that will give this dress movement and sway. The tight weave of the fabric makes it easy to sew and wear, and the cool hand of the rayon will keep you comfy in the summer heat. All in all, it's everything you could ask for in a day dress!
- Magenta Bamboo Twill - The wonderful thing about bamboo is it takes dyes so easily. That means we can get amazing vibrant colors, like this fuchsia pink. It is rich, lush, and deeply saturated. The fabric has a gorgeous, soft drape from the bamboo and a cool dry hand, perfect for the upcoming heat. Plus, with a subtle sheen, this fabric will add a bit of poshness to this day dress, while still being incredibly comfortable and soft. We love every bit of it!
- Blue on Blue Linen Cotton Stripe - We fell HARD for this variegated stripe linen. A yarn-dye weave, this fabric felt like a perfect match for this dress. The vertical stripe will really show off the long line of the dress, plus, it opens up possibilities of turning the stripe for the hem ruffle! The classic blue has Mediterranean beach vibes while the linen will be breathable and fresh for summer. A stunning, stripey choice!
