Amber Sunrise - Jersey Fabric

Sunset, in a print. Amber Sunrise is a warm amber viscose jersey with a bold floral design, where the petals fan out in a dynamic burst of energy. The contrast against the rich amber background gives the flowers depth, so the whole print glows.

It’s a fabric for people who like to make a statement. The jersey has a luxurious feel and excellent drape, and it falls elegantly over the body for a comfortable, flattering fit. The viscose is soft and breathable, so it’s easy to wear all day, and the knit gives stretch and flexibility for ease of movement. At 148cm wide, there’s room for full skirts and long dress lengths.

Sew a bold maxi dress, a stylish jumpsuit or a head-turning top, and it will be the standout piece in your wardrobe.
