This design is a gorgeous abstract floral on a beautiful cotton satin cloth. Whilst this fabric is the same weight as other cotton satins in the collection, I think this has a bit more body. It isn't crisp or stiff at all, and falls in soft folds. The images give a good indication of the drape and body. The slight sheen of the satin finish means this wouldn't be out of place at a wedding, but would also fit the bill for a lovely casual shirt dress or boxy top. This isn't a 'fluid' fabric, but it would bring a bit of body to patterns that you might normally use a soft voile or viscose. I can see this in straightish or A-Line dresses, with some gathers or pleats (think shirt dresses, fit & flare, or kaftan style dresses), skirts, semi-fitted to loose tailored pants, slimmer fit jumpsuits, shirts and tops. You wouldn't need to line it, but you would obviously need nude underwear. The cloth is smooth and cool to touch. It's dreamy.
'Calliope' comes in two striking colourways: Purple | Multi and Navy | Multi. The navy colourway also features Tan, Ochre, 'Musk Stick' Pink, Mauve and Pastel Green (all on a white background).

Washing Instructions:
While cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problem, this is a lightweight and delicate fabric, so take more care of the cloth/garment, so hand wash or and use a short / delicate cycle. 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. Tumble drying will shorten the life of the garment, and potentially damage the double gauze Do Not Tumble 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.
