- Sky Blue Washed Lawn - This pale blue washed lawn is about as light and airy as you can get. Like a little fabric cloud. The weave is simple, with a slightly crisp drape and voluminous flow - perfect for showing off the A-Line twirl of this dress and top. It's also thin enough to gather without bulk through the neckline and shoulders. And the color! Like a sunny sky on a cold day, it will put you in the mood for long, warm days spent outside. A dream of a fabric!
- Swirling Flora Blush Pink Rayon - When sorting through fabrics for this month, I never wavered on using this dynamic rayon. I HAD to use it. Between the light peachy pink and the deeper floral accents, the fabric has a sense of movement and painterly space that had me swooning. Combine the pattern with a silky soft hand of the rayon and luscious semi-fluid drape, and you have a knockout of a fabric for a truly gorgeous spring dress!
- Jade Vines Linen Chambray - Spring always makes me think of greens and pinks, and this linen chambray has both! The fabric itself is a linen rayon blend, similar to the viscose noil we like to feature, minus the nubbly texture. This combo creates a soft hand and supple drape that will work so well for the shape of this dress/top. Plus the botanical pattern - a blend of pink irises, red buds, and dark blue vines - is vibrant and fresh, just the vibes we want for the coming warm weather!
