- White Ultra Cotton Sateen - With a slight sheen, the sateen instantly looks dressed up while still being a joy to sew. Lightweight, with a crisp drape and a silky hand, the fabric is a step above your typical white shirting and will become an amazing versatile blouse. Nothing brightens up an outfit like a crisp white shirt, and you will look instantly tailored and chic in your make. A classic and gorgeous choice!
- Turquoise Phases Rayon Poplin - I always come back to rayon poplin because it's just so wearable. Thin but opaque, this fabric has a silky hand and semi-fluid drape, making it the obvious choice if you want a softly shaped top to mimic a silk blouse. And the print is so cool! Abstract circles on a lush turquoise background, the pattern evokes phases of the moon or pebbled walkways. Definitely a step up from your typical dot!
- Violet Crawford Gingham - If you're feeling a little country-core, gingham is always a great option, and this violet version is delightful. The color is muted since the base is undyed cotton, and that quality gives the fabric a lovely rustic feel. Paired with the flat collar and button front, and you have a casual look you'll want to wear well beyond the weekend. Sweet, but not saccharine, this fabric option is just what your wardrobe needs!
