- Petal Rosewood Ecovero Crepe - From Mind the Maker, a recent addition to our repertoire, this fabric is deep and earthy, with modern, almost abstract florals. Blue and cream petals float across the warm, rosy brown background, adding just enough pattern too keep it interesting. The fabric itself is silky and drapey, as all good crepes should be, and will match the twirliness of this gorgeous pattern. A match made in heaven!
- Black Magic Floral Viscose Satin - First you'll fall for this pattern, a dark floral combining bright pink with deep black and grey. Pair that with a satin finish, and you have a truly stunning dress. A combination of viscose and rayon, it is designed to feel and look like silk, but without the dry clean only upkeep (because who needs that?). An absolute stunner!
- Cranberry Viscose Imitation Silk - Have you ever wanted to own a silk dress but everything about silk terrifies you? Yeah, we know the feeling. Silk is amazing but also hard to sew, clean, and maintain. Enter this viscose/tencel fabric. Because of the tencel, it looks almost exactly like washed silk, but it's machine washable and has a little more body, making it easier to sew. Fool all your friends into thinking you bought an expensive silk dress or top, and then smile because, one, you made it, and two, at the end of the day, you can throw it in the wash!
