Deco Tulip – Geometric Viscose Dress Fabric

A geometric with a graceful curve. Deco Tulip has an art deco-style pattern of scalloped tulip shapes in navy and lavender, set against a soft cream background. It’s crisp and graphic from a distance, and it has a pretty, flowing look up close.

The viscose is breathable and lightweight, with a beautiful drape. The soft touch and fluid movement make everything you sew comfortable to wear and stylish to look at. At 140cm wide, there’s plenty of room to cut gathers, full skirts and wide sleeves. Try flowing dresses and blouses, swishy skirts, wide-leg trousers or a statement top. Because the pattern repeats evenly, it’s easy to cut and match.

The cream base keeps it light and fresh, and it pairs well with plain navy, denim and neutrals.

Dressmaking ideas for this fabric:

• Dresses: flowing midi dresses, shirt dresses, wrap dresses and tea dresses
• Skirts: gathered, tiered and bias-cut skirts
• Tops and blouses: statement tops, relaxed blouses and camisoles
• Trousers: wide-leg trousers and palazzo pants
• Co-ords: matching skirt and top sets

Sewing tips:

• Pre-wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
