Otono Blanco - Viscose Fabric

Burgundy, rust and brown are cosy colours, and on a white ground they feel light. Autumn Ditsy has small flowers and curling stems scattered across the cloth, with a few tiny lilac blooms between them. The white keeps it airy, so you get the warmth of an autumn palette in a fabric that works just as well in the sun.

This viscose has a light, airy feel and a lovely gentle drape. It’s breathable, with a silky texture, and it feels smooth against the skin. It falls in soft folds, so gathers, tiers and bias cuts look pretty. The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which suits full skirts and wide trouser legs.

Breathable, silky and beautifully draping is what you want from a summer fabric, and a white ground keeps the print fresh and bright. Burgundy and rust look warm against a tan. The fabric folds small, so it’s handy for a holiday wardrobe.

The flowers are small and run in every direction, so there’s no large motif to place and no pattern to match.
