- Fuchsia Botanical Rayon Challis - Our favorite rayon poplin offers so many great prints, and this red botanical print is no exception. A jammy red background plays host to red, burgundy, and white leaves, all on a silky smooth and completely opaque fabric. A soft, semi-fluid drape makes it ideal for this dress. This fabric will keep you cool and stylish through the end of summer heat!
- Fern Print Rayon Slub - Bright green ferns cover a navy background for this slub rayon fabric. The contrast of a supple drape and nubbly hand add interest, while a light weight makes it ideal for the gathers of this dress. Bold and tropical, this fabric is s astunner!
- Baby Blue Rayon Challis - You can't go wrong with a good rayon challis. Here, the color is the star - a dreamy, serene baby blue the evokes sunny days and cool waters. The simple solid will allow the pattern lines of this dress to really stand out. Plus, the rayon will keep you comfortable all day long!
