- Red Currant Rayon Poplin - Normally this poplin comes in bold prints that we have swooned over in the past, but we recently discovered a line of solids that has us over the moon. A tighter weave than a challis, this poplin is opaque and deeply saturated. The juicy, berry pink is jewel-toned and bright. It will transition beautifully into the traditional, earthy tones of fall. A gorgeous fabric!
- Ojos Flame Rayon Challis - This printed lawn, designed to look like an ikat print, is warm and rich. An earthy, rust orange background is dotted with a navy eye design for a timeless yet modern look. The lawn is silky and deeply saturated, and it will feel simply wonderful against your skin. Plus it will drape so nicely for the balloon sleeves of this dress.
- Floral Shade Ecovero Crepe - This black and white print, sort of like a photo negative of a floral, is unique and wonderful. Combine the pattern with a silky soft viscose crepe, and you have a luscious dress in the making! The crepe is lightweight and textured, with a semi-fluid drape and cool hand. Turned into this dress, it will become a bold statement outfit that is truly one of kind
