• Approx. 110gsm
  
• Non-Directional 
  
• OEKO-TEX® certified printing

Are you dreaming of a Mediterranean escape?  Whilst there have been a number of lemony prints around, this gorgeous 'Lemons of Sicily' print has a backdrop of classic blue and white tiles.  I also love that both the tiles and lemons are in a watercolour style.  The lemons are neither too big nor too small, and these bunches of citrus fruit have beautiful white flowers and soft green variegated leaves.  The cloth is a new cotton viscose blend.  It's very similar to the new cotton satins, but this feels a touch lighter and it doesn't have the slight body of the 100% cotton.  It still drapes in soft folds and behaves much more like a cotton satin than a 100% viscose.  

This is perfect for dreamy dresses, shirts, blouses, skirts and loose pants.
