Stretch Suiting Fabric in a deep heather Red, a mostly synthetic blend with rayon – lovely and generous 2-way stretch. The weight is heavenly, a suit weight that would be able to pleat and/or drape beautifully. We love a big suit, pleated skirt or pants (loose or tight fitting). Soft yet supple hand.
Dead stock from an Italian mill.
Price is per Yard.

Pattern Suggestions: We love the viscosity of this fabric. Its liquid, but more like a velvety chocolate sauce than water. It reads bold neutral and any pattern should be approached with a versatile mindset.
The Laetitia wrap dress and its exciting drape are a perfect fit for this fabric. The elegance of the pattern shape and the luster are a match made in heaven for a go staple of the wardrobe. From Just Patterns.
In the Folds has a number of patterns that would fit the end and weight of this piece. We pick 2 in order to emphasize its range; the Hove Jacket, a hooded jacket. Also the Rushcutter, an oversized knee length dress. Both fit in the category of “smart casual”, i.e. the look that is casual but people pass for formal wear.
Another pattern we are into for its “smart casual” look is the Dover Jacket from the Printed Pattern. This is an unlined raglan.
