William Morris Tulip And Willow - Viscose

Some designs never date, and Tulip and Willow is one of them. Tulips twist through a lattice of graceful willow leaves in a heritage pattern inspired by William Morris, and in cream on deep blue-grey it looks both classic and quietly dramatic.

The fabric

The viscose has a luxurious drape and a silky-smooth texture, and it’s a pleasure to cut, sew and wear. It’s breathable and comfortable, so it works through every season, and the wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which is handy for full skirts and long dresses. It’s also OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, so it has been independently tested and found free from harmful substances, a comfort for anything worn close to the skin.

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
• Trousers: wide-leg trousers and culottes

It suits everyday wear and statement pieces equally, and the vintage-inspired look pairs well with plain navy, cream, tan and denim.
