'Pastel Abstraction' ~ Cotton Voile
- 138cm wide
- 100% Cotton
- Approx. 70gsm
- Directional
- OEKO-TEX® certified printing
I love the combination of straight lines and curves in this print. The colours are soft and the effect is calming. I can see this worn with denim blues but also an array of greens (such a khaki and forest). It would also be wonderful with winter white and purple. It's nice to have some 'softer' prints, and this one is a winner.
This is a lovely quality cotton voile. You won't need to line a blouse (you'll just need skin-toned underwear). For skirts, you make need a little lawn slip. You'll love making blouses (any time of year) or a breezy dress for the hottest of summer days.
