Now the festive period has come and gone quickly it's time to start thinking about the summer and if we are lucky summer holidays. With this in mind I am going to talk about our range of Summer Dressmaking Fabrics that we offer here at Calico Laine.
- Chiffon: This is a great fabric for summer as it is lightweight and makes up really well. We offer a range of different chiffon materials all varying in both width and fabric composition. A personal favourite of mine is the Cationic Chiffon. This looks and feels very much like silk, although it is in fact polyester. This is amazing fabric and offers great value for money at only £3.99 per metre.
- Cotton Prints: All these fabrics are perfect for those long summer nights. These can be made into both daytime and evening time dresses. There is such a massive choice to choose from! My favourite range from this section are Jardin prints. These really are beautiful.
- Linen Fabric: I love this fabric, it really is great quality linen. It makes up and washes really well. Ideal for hot sunny days. This years the colour range has also expanded. Another tell tale sign of how popular it has become:-)
