Weight: Very Light
GSM: 58
Composition: 100% Viscose
Width: 144cm / 55inch

Colour:
Peacock Sky Garden boasts a wonderfully bohemian design boasting a dramatic with black background, which plays host to the cutest, almost vintage pastel palette, making for a versatile and very workable scheme. The design of stylised peacock-like birds and feather-leaf motifs is interspersed with ditsy florals and tiny flowers that appear like twinkling stars in a floral night sky.
Complementary hues of vintage blush pink, coral red, lemon and pastel turquoise are unified with seriously chic pewter grey. This is ideal for dressing up with seriously smart suiting fabrics for your workwear wardrobe or dressing down with jeans.
Properties:
A superb, breathable viscose crepe georgette, perfect for vintage style lovers! Think Celia Birtwell and Oz Clarke's late '60s styles. With a floaty, lightweight, soft and lightly-grained textured feel, its drapey hand is ideal for ruching, draping, ruffling and gathering. This sweet fabric has a light and airy feminine style that can look equally glamorous depending on how you choose to style it.
Garment Suggestions:
Imagine all the cute and feminine things you can make from this beauty. Start with wardrobe builders, such as floaty blouses as well as tie bow and gipsy styles, and simple but beautiful tea dress styles with easy, elasticated waists.
For something more of a statement feminine, drapey styles with fitted bodices and delicately draped over layers, be sure to use a structured underdress! For something a little more adaptable think floaty maxi dresses with a ‘70s style and consider using soft touch silky and fine jersey fabrics for the underskirts.
Other Uses:
Create matching ruched headbands, scarves and scrunchies for the full effect!
Sourced As Deadstock:
This fabric is from the Fabworks x Avoca collaboration for A/W 2024, that features a collection of deadstock luxury dressmaking fabrics & trimmings.
Delivered to Fabworks straight from the Avoca garment makers, this fabric has very limited stock availability and cannot be repeated once sold out. If you've spotted something you like, don't leave it too long before ordering!
Fabworks x Avoca
Fabworks’ association with Avoca began in 2011, when Fabworks Mill Shop was only a fraction of what it is today, and way before Fabworks Online existed. We were approached by Avoca with an offer to buy their surplus fabric from the previous seasons' collections. What an opportunity! A deal was struck, and what arrived at our warehouse a few weeks later was the most amazing selection of Irish-made pure wool fabrics, plus all the accessorising elements within the Avoca ladieswear collection (elaborate trimmings, gorgeous embroidered silks, lightweight satins, Liberty jerseys) and the cherry on top of the cake – Irish-made Donegal Tweed!
The working relationship between Fabworks and Avoca blossomed over the next few years and allowed Fabworks to develop its focus on high end ladies’ dressmaking fabrics and away from the lower end of the textiles market.
Four years and several thousand metres of fabric later, Fabworks took a bigger step than ever before, and collaborated with Avoca to commission its own range of Irish-made pure wool fabrics which marked the launch of Fabworks Online, November 16th 2015. This was a defining moment for Fabworks, being the very first collection of fabrics that we commissioned ourselves. With a range of herringbones in iconic Avoca colour-rich palettes, this was Fabworks’ first taste of proper manufacturing in the 21st century.
