Pink Petal - Viscose Twill Fabric

Pretty, with a lot going on. Pink Petal has delicate petal-shaped flowers in cream, pink, peach, yellow, teal and tan, overlapping across a deep blue background. The soft, warm colours glow against the dark ground, so the print feels fresh, romantic and a little bit painterly.

The twill is woven with a fine diagonal line, which adds a little structure to the soft viscose, and the cloth still drapes comfortably. It’s smooth, breathable and light enough to wear without noticing, and the weight is just right for flowing garments. At 140cm wide, there’s room to cut gathers, wide legs and full skirts. The flowers are small enough to cut around easily, so it’s friendly to sew.

Pick it for a dress, a pair of trousers, a blouse or a skirt, anything that benefits from a soft floral. It dresses up for an occasion and dresses down for the weekend, and it pairs well with plain navy, cream and denim.

Ideas for this fabric:
