Stretch Brocade fabric, a complex Red and Metallic Red Lurex geometric pattern on a Black background.
A versatile medium/heavy jacket weight fabric, but the 2-way stretch lends itself to any garment (except a blouse).
Drape, 54″ wide. Cotton/Lurex/Polyester blend.
Heavier side of a suiting weight, bias stretch. These stretch brocades are so wonderful because they allow for more variation in garment choice. You don’t just have to make a gown or coat anymore with brocades – you can stretch the range of casual looks (no pun intended) – but they can all look remarkable because the fabric is of such high quality.
Again we say simple pattern could go a long way here – You are however welcome to get jazzy as well.
Some pattern suggestions:
Vogue V 1943, an Off-the-shoulder double-breasted lined jacket – pretty jazzy if you ask us.
The Muna and Broad Shoalhaven Shacket is one we love right now – it could work for this if you are experienced with pattern matching.
Vogue Fit-And-Flare Dresses with Waistband and Pockets (V1737) is a good look for this one.
Know Me Tuxedo style dress with the double breasted buttons is great – PDME2006
Flared skirts would be a nice touch – try Vogue V1813 and we would love to see a bomber jacket or two out of this fabric – like Vogue V1877. Also the Simplicity S9712 pleated skirt.
