'Cléo' was Cousette's first exclusive print of 2024, and it's often out of stock ;-). I can see why. It's a gorgeous abstract floral design with a beautiful colour palette, all on a black background. The flowers and foliage are in pink, lavender, mauve, purple, cool grey, coral, orange, brown, chartreuse and fern and dark green. This will be a show-stopping dress or blouse any time of year. It's a very good weight at 130gsm and more substantial than many viscoses. If you struggle with floaty viscoses, you will love sewing this cloth.
This design is also available in a new colourway: 'Spring'.
