100% Cotton Voile - 'Meadow-scape'
- 133cm wide
- approx. 85gsm
I adore this sea of flowers. This gorgeous voile is perfect for cool dresses, and would be absolutely gorgeous in shirts. It isn't see-through due to the dark colours. It comprises of three different blues (including the navy background), and the flourishes of white, forest green, coral and chartreuse keep it fresh. It is a dream of a print.
For your cloth edit consider: semi-fitted or looser shirts, blouses, tops; dresses (eg. wrap, fit and flare, shirt dresses); skirts (eg. wrap, maxi, midi, gathered, pleated). It would be great in light, loose pants or shorts in summer also.

Cloth Care
Cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problems. Wash colours separately. The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet, and placed on a hanger to dry. To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade. Cotton needs a warm to hot iron. Conduct a spot test. Cotton is dry cleanable.
