'Farrah' ~ Embroidered Cotton Chambray | Burgundy

'Farrah' ~ Embroidered Cotton Chambray | Burgundy

• 148cm wide
• 100% Cotton
• Approx. 175gsm
  
• Non-Directional 

'Farrah' is a stunning embroidered chambray cotton.  The denim is lovely and dark and provides the perfect contrast to the cotton embroidery thread (which has a subtle sheen).  The stems of this floral design consist of dual lines of chain-link embroidery stitches, but the petals (and some leaves) are made of concentric oblong shapes.  The effect is beautiful and the denser portions of the design highlight the slight sheen of the thread.  

At 175gsm, this is going to be stunning for all manner of shirts, blouses, loose pants, skirts and dresses.  While I can see this in summer with tan sandals, this would also be great to pop away for the cooler months.  

'Farrah' comes in two glorious colourways:  Bronze (think of a burnt orange with a bit of sheen), and a stunning Burgundy.

Cloth Care:

While cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problem, this has embroidery, so some care should be taken.  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 embroidery. 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.
