Twisted Floral on Mustard - Viscose Fabric

Mustard is one of those colours that looks good on almost everyone, and it makes a floral feel warm instead of sweet. Twisted Floral on Mustard has a print with a little movement in it, so the flowers look as if they’re swaying, and it brings a cheerful, slightly retro feel to whatever you sew.

The viscose is soft and lightweight, with a smooth, silky texture. It’s breathable and drapey, so it flows as you move and feels comfortable against the skin. The wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which helps with full skirts, long dresses and wide legs.

It’s a natural summer fabric, and it also works well for winter events, worn with tights and a tailored jacket or a cosy cardigan.
