About 'Floral Hero'
The rose print started as an archived, monochromatic, large-scale print, but it was re-worked and re-sized, and the details were refined. It was important to me that the background colour also highlighted the details of the contrasting blooms and foliage. The roses are nearly completely open, but I love that the centres of the blooms are still overlapping, ready to blossom. Alongside the roses are swirls of leaves, that have the effect of a ‘paisley in nature’.
The colour combinations of each colourway have been carefully considered. They were originally inspired by a trio of designer dresses, but the hues were altered to strike the perfect balance for this print.
I hope you enjoy 'Floral Hero'!

Why Linen Silk?
This stunning cloth combines all the wonderful features of both linen and silk fibres: excellent breathability; beautiful drape; and cool and smooth against the skin. The amalgam looks and feels more luxurious than linen and opens opportunities for making garments for special events. Don’t keep it just for best though 😉. This is wonderful for wearing every day.
Enjoy using Cloth Edit’s Linen Silk for floaty dresses, blouses, skirts, and wide leg trousers. Really, it’s perfect for all manner of dresses, tops, bottoms and loungewear. It drapes in soft folds on and away from the body. If lined, more fitted silhouettes are on the table.
The cloth is also great for layering in cooler months as it’s smooth and doesn’t have a lot of ‘friction’ like a range of cottons and linens. The cloth has very good colourfastness and it’s easy to iron.
Cloth Care
- It’s washable by hand but I always use a delicate, cool, machine wash cycle (my tip - don’t overload the detergent and softeners)
- Medium Iron (spot test)
- Steam ironing is perfect
- Don’t use a dryer. It is a garment destroyer and will shorten the life of your garment. It is a quick drying cloth, so just hang your garment on a hanger to dry.
