Monsoon Rain - Viscose Jersey Fabric

Dotted Waves is made of hundreds of small white dots and dashes, set in wavy rows across a black ground. Up close it looks hand-drawn, a bit like pebbles on a beach or ripples on water, and from a distance it blends into a lively monochrome texture. It’s a bold print that behaves like a neutral, because black and white go with every colour in your wardrobe, so you can make a statement piece or a wardrobe staple from the same fabric.

This is a lovely quality stretch viscose jersey. It’s breathable, with a silky texture and a beautiful drape, and it feels smooth against the skin. The 4% Lycra gives comfortable stretch and recovery, so garments move with you and keep their shape. The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which suits long dresses, tunics and wide-leg lounge pants.

The dots run all over the cloth in every direction, so there’s no large motif to place and no pattern to match. Breatable, silky and with a beautiful drape its perfect for a variety of dressmaking projects.
