Flower Shower - Viscose Fabric

A shower of flowers, on a dark ground. Flower Shower has a charming floral print scattered across black, so the blooms stand out and the whole fabric feels rich and a little dramatic. It’s pretty, but with enough depth to suit an evening outfit as well as a daytime one.

The viscose is soft and lightweight, with a silky feel that’s lovely to wear. It’s breathable and falls in smooth, fluid lines, so it swings and moves as you do. The wide width, allows for cutting full skirts, wide legs and long dress lengths. The floral print on a dark background is forgiving of seams and small marks.

Choose it for a dress, a blouse, a skirt, trousers or a jumpsuit. Black is the easiest base to wear, and it goes with lots of colours in your wardrobe.
