Nora is a renowned Japanese fabric manufacturer, and in addition to the exciting Anime design, I have a stunning floral design.  The name of the fabric means 'meadow', and it seems to capture the unruly, yet romantic, array of flowers and foliage.  The black background is punctuated by lots of browns and greens, pinks, reds, purples, chartreuse, and soft, muted orange.  I think this will tick lots of boxes for many of you.  This is the same soft cotton shirting as the Anime print.  It's 140gsm, and it has a little bit of crispness and body.   It's perfect for shirts, simple dresses, tops, skirts and casual pants.

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.
