97% Cotton and 3% Spandex (Woven) - Flaneur | Navy

This Fabric is sold in units of 50cm (= .5m; ½ m).    For example, if you would like 2.5m, then enter the quantity ‘5’.  As Cloth Edit only receives limited quantities of each fabric, err on the side of caution when ordering.   Take into account any additional length etc.

Every effort has been made to present the fabric as accurately as possible.  If the precise colour, weight and feel of the fabric is important for your decision, and the photos aren’t giving you enough detail, the best option to eliminate disappointment is to use the Swatch Service.  Each Swatch is .50c.  See under the 'About' tab for more details. 

The flâneur is someone who strolls with no purpose, observing the world.  This beautiful quality stretch cotton, also commonly known as stretch cotton sateen, is perfect for your pant and skirt needs, whether you are sauntering or working.  It has the added comfort of 3% elastane, which in our experiments relates to approximately 8-10% stretch across the grain; perfect for slimmer line garments.  It has a slight sheen on the right side which looks luxurious.  Please note that the width of the fabric is 126cm so if you have a favourite pants or skirt pattern, you may need to get a little extra.

The draped photos appear brighter than the flat photos due to light angles.  Under regular internal light, the fabric appears closer to the darker shots.   The draped shots do show the weight and drape of the fabric more accurately though.

For your cloth edit consider:   As this is a heavier weight cotton, it suits more structured dresses, jackets, fitted sleeveless tops, straight or A Line skirts, fitted and semi-fitted pants.

We stock many beautiful indie patterns that would be a perfect match with this fabric.  Consider Closet Core Patterns’ Fiore, Jenny, and Sienna; Papercut Patterns’ Axis Skirt and Dress and the Stacker Jacket; and In The Folds’ Darlow Pants.

Cloth Care:

Cotton is an easy care fibre as it is strong when wet, and so it can be machine washed.  While 100% cotton is often tumble dried the 3% elastane in this stretch woven means that tumble drying will adversely affect the fabric.  Do not tumble dry.  The finished garment will look better and last longer 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.   While cotton needs a hot iron, the elastane content means you will need to test the fabric, so start on a cooler setting, and iron on the wrong side. We suggest cushioning darts when ironing so the dart doesn’t show through on the right side.
