I can't get enough of the Cotton Shantungs.  The subtle texture coming from the different sized yarns.

They're perfect for shirts and shirt dresses, as well as blouses and other dresses that love a bit of structure.  It's also a very good option for summer pants and shorts. 

Blue in Motion is a stunning design that features gorgeous orange, free-flowing lines across a cobalt blue background.  The occasional spaces where lines intersect is filled with navy.  It's simple yet striking, and utterly unique.

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.
