Burgundy Floral Sprays on Pink - Viscose Fabric

A floral that looks hand-painted. Dark burgundy branches trail across a soft, dusty pink background, dotted with tiny blossoms in blue, orange and cream. It’s a romantic floral in soft pink, but the burgundy gives it depth, so it feels grown-up and not sugary.

The fabric

The viscose is soft and lightweight, with a smooth, silky texture that feels luxurious against the skin. It’s breathable and drapey, so it flows as you move and stays comfortable all day. With a fine needle, a medium stitch length and neat seam finishes, it sews up beautifully.

Placing the print

The sprays run in loose trails, so you can choose where they fall. Cut single layer and put a branch where you’d like the eye to go, such as a skirt panel, a sleeve or a bodice. The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which suits full skirts and long dresses.

What to make

• Dresses: wrap dresses, shirt dresses, tea dresses and slip dresses
• Blouses and tops: relaxed blouses, camisoles and tie-neck tops
• Skirts: gathered, tiered and bias-cut styles
• Trousers and jumpsuits: wide-leg trousers, culottes and jumpsuits

Dusty pink and burgundy go well with cream, tan, navy and plain burgundy, and the look works for casual days and smarter occasions alike.

Sewing tips:

• Wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
• Choose a fine, sharp needle and a medium stitch length
• Neaten seams to stop fraying, with French seams, an overlocker, a zigzag stitch or bias binding
