Lady McElroy - Nightlife Tokyo - Marlie Care Lawn - 100% Cotton

• 140cm wide
• 85gsm
• 100% Cotton
• Directional

This print translates a bustling cityscape into a pretty amalgam of boku effect (blurred background lights) and the most vibrant signs of Tokyo.  This is a beautiful pink-dominate print, with blues, yellows and orange.   It's mesmerising.  The cloth is 100% cotton 'Marlie Care' lawn.   For me, it is a gorgeous shirting, with a bit of 'give' and a tiny bit of crispness.  This is unique, and will be perfect for shirts, blouses, and a range of dresses.

Cloth Care:

We recommend a gentle machine wash or hand washing linen. It is important not to wring the fabric or garment, so if you are handwashing, roll up in a towel to press out excess water.   It is preferable to wash inside out. Wash colours separately (30 degrees or a cold wash). Shake out the wet garment and dry flat (or on a hanger) in the shade. Use a warm/hot iron and spot test. You may need a water spray bottle to get rid of the wrinkles when you are ironing, or just embrace the beautiful crumpled look of the cloth ;-). Linen softens upon wearing and laundering. Do Not Tumble Dry.
