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.

Aristocrat Paisley is a finely woven lightweight polyester satin twill and has a timeless printed design which has a wonderful classic yet modern style. This silken stunner will appeal to those who love timeless yet striking design.

The even design incorporates classic paisley, boasting cool silver grey and platinum hues. Fine diagonal stripes in the same hues emulate the grain of a heavier twill, upon which square motifs with red borders (boasting centres of the same diagonal stripes in pale blue hues) give the look of finely enamelled cufflinks. The overall effect is sophisticated and suitable for both ladies and gents clothing, and has an aristocratic air which will translate into masterfully rendered clothing.

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.

Aristocrat Paisley will of course make stunning occasion wear pieces, dresses with drape and gathered details, bow tie blouses and dresses, cowl necked shift dresses, simple dolman sleeved tops. Quick make slash necked scarf style tops will all add a hint of luxury to a simple jeans and top outfit. Take this elegant wonder and create '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 stand alone piece.

Spoil yourself or someone special and create stylish and sumptuous traditional pyjamas with coordinating piped collars and pocket tops. Or a slinky camisole and shorts set with coordinating lace and matching kimono robe. Create retro/vintage style robes for the man in your life with a smoking jacket vibe.
