- Rose Glaze Organic Cotton Gingham - Medium weight with a hand woven texture, this gingham is a dream of organic cotton. A yarn-dye weave of cream and deep rose threads, it is sweet and muted, country and class. Slightly heavier than the other options, it will transition wonderfully into your early fall wardrobe while still carrying some summer vibes. We love it!
- Everlasting Blooms Rayon Challis - A vintage style print, straight out of the fifties, this challis is a delight. A soft green background hosts lovely white and pink roses, with a hint mustard for good measure - a beautiful late summer print! The fabric itself is silky and cool, light as air and perfect for swishing. All the better to show off the gathers on the skirt or the shape of the sleeves on this dress/top!
- Blue Sea Silky Noil - With the look of silk noil, breathability of linen, and softness of rayon, this fabric has it all. The surface has a nubbly texture that creates a rustic feel, making the fabric great so many things, including tops and dresses. The blue color, somewhere between a navy and royal, is eminently versatile, so we bet you'll be wearing this set all the time!
