Circle Line Austin - Rayon

This is the print that turns heads. Big blocks of aqua, teal, navy, coral, mustard and cream overlap in a bold, modern pattern, and the rayon makes it move.

The cloth is stunning quality, with a superb drape and flow, and it feels soft and cool against the skin. The width is generous, so there’s plenty of room to cut a full skirt, a maxi dress or wide-leg trousers without squeezing your pattern pieces on. There’s no small repeat to match either, so you can place the colour blocks exactly where you like.

Make it into a dress and you’ll see why we love it. It’s just as good as a top, skirt, trousers or maxi dress, and the bright palette goes with plain navy, cream and denim.

Ideas for this fabric:

• Dresses: flowing midi dresses, maxi dresses, shirt dresses and wrap dresses
• Tops: relaxed tops, boxy shirts and camisoles
• Skirts: gathered, tiered and bias-cut styles
• Trousers: wide-leg trousers, culottes and palazzo pants
• Co-ords: matching sets for a head-to-toe look
