Peacock Plumage - Viscose Dress Fabric

Some colours feel like a treat, and peacock teal is one of them. Peacock Plumage is a deep, glowing blue-green, like the shimmer on a feather, and it gives anything you sew a touch of opulence.

The viscose feels soft and silky, and it drapes in long, fluid folds that flow over the body and moves beautifully as you walk. It’s lightweight and breathable, so it stays comfortable from morning to late evening. The wide width gives you plenty of room to cut, so full skirts, maxi dresses and wide sleeves are easy to lay out..

Ideas for this fabric

• A maxi dress that sweeps and swings
• A chic blouse for the office, then dinner
• A sophisticated skirt, gathered, tiered or cut on the bias
• A co-ord, for a head-to-toe jewel-tone look

Peacock teal pairs well with cream, tan, black and gold, so it’s easy to style with what you already own. If you want to make a bold statement with your next outfit, this is the fabric for it.

Sewing tips:

• Wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
• Choose a fine, sharp needle and a medium stitch length
