Luna Sol - Viscose Fabric

A modern spot print with a bit of mystery. Luna Sol has large dots in mustard gold and soft white, scattered across a rich cobalt blue, and they look a little like moons and suns drifting across a night sky. It’s funky and stylish, but the deep blue keeps it grown-up, so it works for daytime and evening alike.

The fabric

This viscose has a soft, drapey feel and a silky-smooth finish, and it’s incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s breathable and flows beautifully, so garments move with you and fall in elegant lines. The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which suits gathered skirts, long dresses and wide-leg trousers.

• Blouses and tops: relaxed blouses, camisoles and tie-neck tops

Sewing tips:

• Wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
