Shades: This delightful ditsy floral, printed soft cotton Lawn features a subtle birds egg washed blue background, with Alpine-like florals of almost Air Force Blue/Vintage denim. The background is infilled with simple Heathland-like foliage and tiny florals in tones of bracken brown and rich horse-chestnut brown.
Design: A Liberty-style ditsy floral design with small florals and foliage, forming a very retro style redolent of vintage '70s Laura Ashley prairie dresses.
Overall: Delicate, enchanting and whimsical, the perfect fabric for art and nature lovers.
Properties:
Texture: Offering all the properties of a classic and fine soft cotton lawn, Prairie Meadow is certainly one from the archives. This is apparent from its vintage look and its soft & ever so lightly-brushed finish, giving a washed & worn heirloom-like feel.
Handle: Stable on the width and length, with a hint of give across the bias, suited to sharp, precise detailing as well as soft, voluminous silhouettes. Breathable, lightweight and of a classic pure cotton vintage quality.
Drape: Cotton lawns will also hang beautifully, allowing garments to flow effortlessly, ideal for dresses, shirts, and other flowy styles.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: Perfect for creating softly structured yet fluid garments, this lightweight cotton lawn lends itself beautifully to gathered and flowing dresses, airy blouses and tops, kaftans and tunics. Its smooth handle and graceful drape make it equally well suited to classic shirts, shirtdresses, lightweight jumpsuits, and relaxed resort wear, where comfort and elegance go hand in hand. Ideal for designs featuring pleats, tucks, gathers, and gentle volume.
Patterns: We would suggest patterns such as the Charlie Caftan, the Elodie Dress, the Fran Pajama, the Jenna Shirt, and the Megan Nielsen Protea.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Perfect for scarves, neckerchiefs, fabric headbands, scrunchies, lightweight tote bags, and soft make-up bags.
Upcycling: Use off-cuts for patchwork projects, quilt blocks, bunting, gift wrap, or to refresh and embellish existing garments.
