What a delicate, ethereal print! Pastels and softer colours have been popular at Cloth Edit recently, but it's hard to find 'stand outs'. This is another beauty that I think you'll love. The butterflies, blooms and petals float across the cloth. The soft pink, aqua and grey are a delight, and I also think it looks fabulous with the pastel denims (eg the 'Bliss' Mint, and the NEW 'Roma' Lilac, and Seafoam). This is a little transparent for 'bottoms' but a fine lawn slip will solve that issue. In the heat of summer, I wouldn't bother ;-). This will be superb for tops, dresses, skirts and pants. Don't delay; I can't get any more.

Cloth Care:
Delicate Cycle; 30 Degrees, Line Dry. 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.
