Although we are still in the middle of Summer, with a fantastic range of stunning Summer Prints to choose from, already our customers are looking forward to Dressmaking garments for the cooler months! Here at Calico Laine we are proud to offer only the highest quality Dressmaking Fabrics, and when it comes to the Winter materials that we have in stock these are no exception! A timeless piece of clothing that can be sure to last throughout changing fashions is a Melton coat. The Melton Fabric that we have available here at Calico Laine is a fantastic Dressmaking Fabric that is 100% polyester, yet is designed to look and feel like boiled wool! Our range of Melton Fabrics comes in a fantastic selection of popular colours including black, navy, mid as well as dark grey and even white and cream to name just a few! Another unusual twist that can be seen in the style of Melton coat you choose to create is three-quarter sleeves, so why not search through the vast range of Dressmaking Patterns from Mccalls, Butterick and Vogue to find the perfect design to suit your tastebuds! Why not add the perfect finshing touches to your new garments by adding oversized buttons? Or even glamorous Diamante pieces for that touch of winter sparkle?
