Verdant Petal Harmony - Viscose Dress Fabric

A walk through a green garden, in fabric form. Verdant Petal Harmony has delicate white flowers on a rich green background, so it feels calm, fresh and quietly pretty.

Revel in the beauty of floral sophistication as you fashion captivating pieces that seamlessly blend style with the tranquillity of nature. 

Three ways to wear it

• A bohemian maxi dress: the viscose falls in long, soft lines and swishes as you walk
• A breezy summer top: lightweight and breathable, ideal for warm days
• A flowing skirt or blouse: gathered, tiered or bias-cut, it moves beautifully

Why it’s a good one to sew

The drape is lovely and the fabric is light, so it hangs well without clinging. It’s breathable, which makes it comfortable in warm weather, and the wide width leaves plenty of room to cut, which suits full skirts and long lengths.

If you want a floral that feels sophisticated and relaxed in one go, this is a good choice.

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
• Press on a low heat from the reverse, with a pressing cloth if you have one

• Width: 140cm/55" (approx)
• Composition: 100% Viscose
• Fabric Type: Viscose
• Colour: Green, White
