Maritime Marvels - Special Occasion Satin

This visually stunning, lightweight, high quality satin was originally created for a renowned British ladies and menswear designer famous for their fine occasion wear with quirky and elegant styles; inspired by history and the natural world. We decided to name this fabric SOS; as an acronym that stands for Special Occasion Satin, referencing this particular fabric and its sister fabrics in the collection. Click here to see the full range of Special Occasion Satin fabrics.

Maritime Marvels is a finely woven lightweight polyester satin twill printed with the most fabulous and visually stunning photo realistic allover design. This designer fabric and silken stunner will appeal to those who love history and quirky British design.

Steel grey and black combine with the cool water blue and white of the elegant paisley design background, to make the perfect palette for this technical and visual treat where history book style figures (in lithographic print style) depict maritime marvels of ships and shipping equipment. This glorious fabric with it's superb design is set sail to make a host of statement pieces.

Boasting a super soft silky feel and subtle sheen you would be forgiven for thinking this was silk. This first rate satin has a sumptuous hand which is stable width and lengthwise, with a delicious drape. All you have to decide now is what to make...

Maritime Marvels will of course make stunning occasion wear pieces; dresses with drape & gathered details, bow tie blouses & dresses, cowl necked shift dresses, simple dolman sleeved tops and quick-make slashed-neck scarf style tops will all add a hint of luxury to a simple jeans and top outfit. Take this elegant wonder and create dramatic '70s inspired puffed full-sleeve shirts with deep cuffs and matching cover buttons. Extend this style into gathered tiered-skirted dresses and wear with statement boots for a fabulous A/W occasion wear piece.
