William Morris Evenlode - Viscose

Evenlode is a William Morris classic, named for a river in the English countryside. Blooming flowers, winding vines and layered leaves wind across the cloth in a rich, interlaced pattern, with the feel of a tapestry or a woodland walk.

The fabric

The viscose has a luxurious drape and a silky-smooth texture, and it feels lovely against the skin. It’s breathable and comfortable, so it’s a good choice for warm and mild weather. It’s also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, so it has been independently tested and found free from harmful substances.

Room to work

The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which helps with full skirts, long dresses and generous sleeves. The all-over pattern hides seams well, and a timeless print like this stays in style for years, so a garment you make now is one you’ll keep wearing.

What to make

• Dresses: flowing midi dresses, shirt dresses, wrap dresses and tea dresses
• Blouses and tops: elegant blouses, relaxed shirts and camisoles
• Skirts: gathered, tiered and bias-cut styles
