A vintage piece, ca. 1940’s/50’s, evident in the quality and density.
The classic blend that tailors with ease, perfect for a suit, but also as a dress, gown, pants, jacket, top or coat – medium, dense hand, suiting weight.

*This fabric is very old, showing some slight age and fading around the selvedge. We tend to suggest that if you are going to sew this, expose to oxygen for a few days to anticipate any discoloration – the blue dye can sometimes fade. That said, people love this fabric, fades and all and we sell it with its natural ombre to those who appreciate it. We are pricing it heavily discounted – to sell.
Pattern suggestions:
Butterick Suit, B6933 – semi fitted with a lined collar. Perfect. Also perfect is Butterick, B6901 with a vest top.
Viki Sews also has the Liliana vest – a similar to the vest above, but slightly more tailored.
A-line or pencil skirt would suffice, but would like to see some pleats. Look to Marfy skirt 3349 and combine with jacket 3348 – woah. Also, Simplicity S9712 is a good staple.
