    Product Details

    The neutral that goes with everything. This premium viscose twill has a soft drape, a subtle diagonal weave and a gentle sheen that gives grey a polished, modern look. At 160gsm, it’s soft and breathable, with a weight that works through every season.

    Grey suits sharp, tailored pieces as well as soft, flowing ones. Sew wide-leg culottes and trousers, a shirt or blouse, a lightweight jacket, a jumpsuit, or a dress and skirt that move beautifully. It’s smart enough for office outfits and evening wear, and it’s just as comfortable for everyday. At 150cm wide, there’s plenty of room to cut. It’s OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, so you can sew with confidence.

    It pairs well with pink, navy, cream and black, so it’s an easy colour to build a wardrobe around.

    Dressmaking ideas for this fabric:

    • Dresses: midi dresses, wrap dresses, shirt dresses and evening dresses
    • Skirts: bias-cut, pleated and tiered skirts
    • Trousers: wide-leg trousers, culottes and palazzo pants
    • Tops and shirts: blouses, shirts and relaxed tops
    • Jackets and jumpsuits: lightweight jackets, waistcoats and jumpsuits

    Sewing tips:

    • Pre-wash gently before cutting, as viscose can shrink
    • Use a sharp, fine needle and a medium-length stitch
    • Press on a low heat, on the reverse, using a pressing cloth to avoid shine

    sustainability

    This fabric is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, meaning it has been independently tested and found free from harmful substances, which is reassuring for garments worn close to the skin. Viscose is made from plant-based cellulose, and a classic twill like this is made to be worn and washed again and again.
