Introduction:
Nouveau Sacred Lotus is a delightful Pima cotton lawn, printed with an all-over Art Nouveau style design that has classic appeal. This detailed design consists of an interlocking and sinuous design of water lotus/lily-type flowers that sit in embracing curves amongst shell-like leaves and highlights of rippled water.
Colour:
This almost Arts and Crafts style of nature-inspired motifs (favoured by Morris and Liberty) is printed with an almost deco-style palette consisting of; a classic black background, where the elegant lilies/lotus flowers feature; complementary soft, light (and darker) rose pink, olive green and cool Eau de Nil green (which forms the outlined detailing) and makes for a perfectly put-together palette and make it ideal for sharp shirts and other up-to-date classics.
Properties:
Seriously soft, finely woven, lightweight, yet with excellent opacity and good stability plus a soft and elegant drape quality. This fabric will gather, tuck, pleat and form elegant fullness. For crisp details like collars, cuffs and button bands we recommend the use of a light/medium weight iron on interfacing.
Garment Suggestions:
