Cornflower Meadow - Viscose Twill Fabric

A little meadow, in navy. Cornflower Meadow has a delicate ditsy floral in soft cornflower blue and beige, scattered across a rich navy background. It’s pretty without being fussy, and it brings a touch of floral elegance to any garment.

The twill weave is subtle and diagonal, which gives the fabric a soft but structured texture, and it drapes beautifully. It’s smooth and breathable, so it’s comfortable to wear while still looking refined, whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual. At 140cm wide, there’s plenty of room to cut gathers, full skirts and wide sleeves.

Sew dresses, blouses, skirts and more. The dark base is flattering and practical, and it pairs well with plain navy, cream and denim.
