This stunning jacquard cloth is a part of the Cousette's Autumn 'The Last Flowers' Collection. It's inspired by "that particular moment when gardens gently change their appearance. The roses are still there, the dahlias offer their final blooms, vegetable gardens overflow with tomatoes, shutters stay open a little later in the evening. Summer fades slowly, without a sound." The antique, autumnal roses in 'Rosalie' echo the patina of a long-admired tapestry. There is a sense of a by-gone era, and stylish country life.
This cloth has a soft texture and consists of two cloth layers which are stitched together. You'll catch a glimpse of the underside (which is just as beautiful) in some of the images. This is 165cm wide which is fabulous for a bit of economical cutting out.
This is perfect for that 'forever' light jacket or coat you've longed for, and also a superb option for other garments like simple tops, dresses, vests, skirts, simple trousers, or a substantial, statement over-shirt.
You'll see that Cousette has made the 'Margarette' Blazer | Jacket and some matching trousers.

Cloth Care:
In order to preserve your Cousette fabric, follow these guidelines.
- Overlock the cut edges of the fabric before washing (I always do this for every fabric ;-)).
- Wash fabric before sewing as there will be some shrinkage - up to 10%-15% Cousette suggest.
- Wash fabric at 30°C maximum with a spin on a delicate program.
- Gently steam fabric on both sides
- Never use a dryer
