Nora is another renowned Japanese fabric manufacturer, and I'm excited to finally receive a duo of their designs.  The vibrancy of this anime design is compelling.  I love the non-sensical narrative, leaving it up to you to make the connections between the DNA, a dripping tap, sandwich, cat at a window, house, shirt, skipping rope, frog, eggs, skates, clouds, and so much more.  I like to dip into a bit of pop culture, and this is pure fun!  This is a shirting weight cotton and it has a little bit of crispness and body, but it's smooth.   It's perfect for shirts, simple dresses, tops, skirts and casual pants.  Pair with white, denim, or go for any of the bold colours in this print.

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.
