Introduction:
The perfect all-rounder! This impeccably woven fine suiting-style fabric boasts a myriad of marvellous properties due to its close and visually interesting weave detailing. Manufactured in Italy for a renowned British designer, Celestial Shower has great pedigree and is perfect for cross-seasonal wear.
Colouring:
Celestial Shower emulates a shower of tiny two-tone grey and black shadowed stars falling through the beauty of deep royal blue space. A pattern small enough to blend in, but look closer and you will see an intricately detailed and sophisticated, pleasingly uniform pattern.
Properties:
With a soft handle and bounce-back width stretch, its blend of fibres create a medium weight fabric with a reassuring drape that is not overly light and floaty, due to its weighty viscose fibres, that also aide good stability. The presence of synthetic polyester fibres allow for strength and durability, plus its elastane fibres (exact composition unknown, estimated 2% elastane) give just enough stretch to create fitted and flattering styles.
This easy wear & easy care utility style ex-designer suit-weight fabric (originally destined to become sharp suits) begs to be used for elegant attire. Take advantage of the elastane fibres (exact composition unknown, estimated 2% elastane) which allow just enough stretch to create fitted and flattering styles. After all, suiting is not just for suits!
Garment Suggestions:
The ideal fabric for both casual and super-smart attire, such as wide-legged (Oxford bag) style trousers, culottes and classic pleat-fronted trousers, neat pencil skirts, fitted princess seam dresses and fit & flare dresses.

Update classic styles for more smart/casual makes, such as sports luxe styles, bomber and Harrington jackets (with gleaming zips and stud details). Create super comfy utility-style boiler suits, over-shirts, shirtdresses and more.
