Viscose Jersey - Matera Blush

Soft florals, with a touch of romance. Matera Blush has delicate rose-coloured flowers entwined on graceful vines, set against a fresh white background. It’s a timeless design that feels pretty, light and easy to wear.

The viscose jersey is lightweight and breathable, with a flattering drape and a comfortable fit. It has just the right amount of stretch, so it moves with you in fitted dresses, wrap tops and skirts, and in relaxed loungewear. The smooth texture and natural sheen give your garments a luxurious look. The digital print holds its colour well, so the flowers stay fresh with every wear. At 150cm wide and 230gsm, it has good weight and plenty of room to cut.

It’s also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, so it’s a reassuring choice for garments worn close to the skin.

Sewing tips:

• Don’t pull the fabric as you sew, so the seams stay flat
