100% Japanese Cotton Jacquard – Off White Blossom

This Fabric is sold in units of 50cm (= .5m; ½ m).    For example, if you would like 2.5m, then enter the quantity ‘5’.  As Cloth Edit only receives limited quantities of each fabric, err on the side of caution when ordering.   Take into account any additional length etc.

Every effort has been made to present the fabric as accurately as possible.  If the precise colour, weight and feel of the fabric is important for your decision, and the photos aren’t giving you enough detail, the best option to eliminate disappointment is to use the Swatch Service.  Each Swatch is .50c.  See under the 'About' tab for more details. 

This Japanese Uri cotton is beautiful.  It is a floral jacquard on a sheer base, and the effect is very unique.  This could be a stunning special event dress, billowy sleeved blouse, or a semi-fitted top or shirt.  It is sheer (see images), but a simple slip lawn lining would see to that, and not detract too much from the sprays of blossom and leaves.  This was quite a find.

For your cloth edit consider:  loose tops, tunics and shirts, dresses (eg. wrap, fit and flare, kaftan, trapeze, tunic, shift, sheath, shirt dresses), a kimono or robe (short or full length), skirts (eg. A Line, wrap, maxi, gathered, pleated, panelled with a slight flare).

Cloth Care:

Although cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problems, take some more care with this fabric, as it is both light weight and a jacquard. Hand washing is recommended.  Do not wring.  If using a washing machine only use a delicate cycle, and a mesh washing bag.  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.  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.
