A most magnificent velvet burnout fabric – leopard pattern in Dark Coral/Apricot and neutral type Caramel against a chiffon-like backing. Really one of the more sumptuous pieces we have procured in a while.
Lots of fluidity and drape, of course the non velvet portion is sheer. We love a simple pencil skirt or straight dress. Kimono would be beautiful, any gown or top or light weight outer wear.
Dead Stock from an NYC designer – we picked this up from the cutting room ourselves.
Sewing Pattern Suggestions:
Form fitting and easy wear would go a long way, i.e., you can make something simple and let the fabric talk. For example, New Look 6702 – slim fitting and slightly flared pencil skirt.
Of course there are millions of variations of pencil skirts and straight dresses. To get a little more flare, look at McCalls PDM7624 – a loose fitting pullover dress. Even more formal, the Viriam Dress from Viki Sews.
We also love a blouse, and for that we choose the Sofia, from Tint of Mint Patterns.
Price is per Yard.
