Cobra Corsage is one of the centrepieces of the Lady McElroy collection.  In recent years they added to the colour range to include the beautiful Teal and Magenta colourways.  This Magenta version is on the lovely Linen and Rayon Blend 'Chambray' base cloth.  The drape is stunning and very much like that of a good weight viscose cloth (and it has a similar feel).   This print includes a myriad of interesting flora and Fauna details, including colourful beetles walking amongst the 'garden', a tangle of fine, jewel-coloured snakes, butterflies and stunning blooms.  This is perfect for soft blouses, oversized shirts, a variety of dresses (from tunics to wraps), full skirt and relaxed pants.

Cloth Care:

We recommend a gentle machine wash or hand washing linen. It is important not to wring the fabric or garment, so if you are handwashing, roll up in a towel to press out excess water.   It is preferable to wash inside out. Wash colours separately (30 degrees or a cold wash). Shake out the wet garment and dry flat (or on a hanger) in the shade. Use a warm/hot iron and spot test. You may need a water spray bottle to get rid of the wrinkles when you are ironing, or just embrace the beautiful crumpled look of the cloth ;-). Linen softens upon wearing and laundering. Do Not Tumble Dry.
