Colour:
Fabulous Navy is a classic dark navy blue tone. Classics are perfect for creating key pieces for stylish and self-assured style.
Properties:
Fabulous Navy is meticulously woven from a high thread count of fine mercerised cotton yarns. The closely woven horizontal-grosgrain construction (similar to Ottoman rib) produces a light-mediumweight fabric with a subtle silken sheen, excellent stability and reassuring silken drape and excellent body which will create fullness and drama when pleated or gathered, good stability and strength to hold the structure required for snug-fitting bodices.
Garment Suggestions:
An excellent fabric for use in formal wear cocktail dresses and suits, waistcoats, cummerbunds and ties. Fabulous Navy is an excellent alternative to pure Ottoman silk which can often be quite firm and hard to look after.
