'Cléo ~ Spring' is the Spring 2024 iteration of the original and very popular 'Cleo' (Black).  This abstract floral is part of the capsule collection of Cousette's 'An afternoon on the terrace' seasonal release.  The collection was designed "as an invitation to welcome spring" by putting "flowers and colors on your outfits and go out to drink a grenadine on the terrace...".  Cléo is a multi-coloured print with a vivid, spring green background and a gorgeous bed of flowers in dusty and Barbie pinks, red, fuchsia, purple, very dark forest green, yellow, apricot and orange.  This will be a show-stopping dress or blouse any time of year.  It's a very good weight at 130gsm and more substantial than many viscoses.  If you struggle with floaty viscoses, you will love sewing this cloth.  

Note:  The dress that's depicted in the images is the Cousette Huguette Dress/Blouse.  Currently it's only available in French, but I will order the English version when it becomes available.
