Spot Cornflower - Viscose Dress Fabric

Cornflower is a clear, bright blue, and spots are one of the most wearable prints there is, so this fabric is easy to fit into a wardrobe. It looks fresh with white, smart with navy and relaxed with denim. The spots are scattered all over the cloth, so the print reads as a lively texture from a distance and a neat pattern up close.

This is a high twist viscose, so the yarn is spun with extra twist before it’s woven. That gives the cloth a smooth, clean surface and a drape that falls neatly. It’s breathable, with a silky texture, and it feels smooth against the skin.

Breathable, silky and with a beautiful drape it is what you want from a summer fabric, and this one has all three. The fabric folds small, so it’s handy for a holiday wardrobe. The spots run in every direction, so there’s no large motif to place and no pattern to match, so the layout stays simple.
