Modern basketweave viscose/lycra

Hold off on emails until I put my hands on this one thanks. It is in the stash, I just have to locate it.

This is a really modern print, one that you can turn into an urban edgy look, or keep simple for a classic monotone that you can wear with just about everything because of the versatile black and white colours.

Gucci – a fabric with a provenance story to tell SOLD

THIS FABRIC IS NOW SOLD – MANY THANKS

Some 10 years ago Tom Ford dominated the fashion world, at his apex when he was the creative director of both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent.  Every now and then he would produce an absolutely iconic work.  A garment for the Gucci 2013 SS collection from which this fabric eventually derived was one of them.

Enchanted florist viscose SOLD

ALL GONE, THANKS

If ever it was the year of the gorgeous dress, especially in a floral, it is this one.  Well may Meryl Streep say, “…florals, for spring…ground-breaking”.  But there is a very good reason floral prints are reprised time and time again…including in Vogue editorials.

I get the very most wear out of great stretch tops that I can dress up or down.  Hence I have bought a lot of viscose, rayon and cotton stretch fabric.  Far too much.
