- Periwinkle Fleurs Vintage Floral Rayon Lawn - A print from Rifle Paper Co, this lawn is reminiscent of midcentury floral wallpaper, with stylized blooms and bold, saturated color. Pair that with a silky soft, rayon lawn, and it's a dream of a fabric. The tight weave and smooth hand will make you feel like you're wearing a gown, but the color and print will keep it casual and everyday. Luxe, bold, and bright, this fabric is a phenomenal option!
- River Blue Dobby Dot Viscose - The fabric is actually the one used in the yellow sample dress, and we couldn't get over how well the drape worked for the pattern. The dobby weave creates a tone-on-tone dotted look that is extremely subtle but makes the dress look shimmery and complex. Silky soft from the viscose content, it will feel amazing to wear, from a chic party to a Saturday morning stroll.
- Primrose Cottage Floral Tencel - The brilliance of this fabric is the contrast of the country pink print with the silky weave of the Tencel. On the one hand, the fabric feels rustic and simple, on the other, it is modern, with sheen and drape. This dichotomy reflects the style of the dress, with the gown-like shape juxtaposing against the more playful flounce and contemporary neckline. Put all together, and it transforms into a knockout of a dress - chic, striking, and oh so wearable!
