- French Blue Embroidered Cotton Voile - This caftan really works for so many fabrics, from linens to silks to cottons. Because we want to create something as unique as you are, this fabric immediately jumped to the top of our list. Between the bright French blue and the lovely floral embroidery, this fabric has it all! Tiny cutouts are small enough that you won't need to underline, especially with the loose fit and flowy drape. Textural and subtle, this fabric will become a unique dress beyond anything you could find in stores!
- Lemon Stripe Cotton Double Gauze - We say each month that there is always one fabric that cements our color scheme. This month, this fabric started the ball rolling with its gorgeous, warm yellow. It's sunshine in a stripe! With the double gauze weave and slight crinkle that creates, this fabric is wonderfully light and soft. This dress can go everywhere - from the beach to picnic to Target - and you will look amazing anywhere you go. Secret summer pajamas for the win!
- Bright Pink Abstract Floral Ecovero Twill - There are large-scale prints and then there are giant prints that take up nearly the whole width of the fabric. That's this printed Tencel which is like a mural of floral color. Huge green leaves and red flowers float on a bubblegum pink background, giving both a tropical and painterly feel. The tencel itself is dry and supple, and will transform into a truly gorgeous, statement caftan. Dopamine dressing indeed!
