Properties:
Beautifully Black features the most wonderful soft smooth hand whilst maintaining an amazingly cool crispness that will form excellent fullness and structure thanks to a slightly heavier weight than your usual shirting poplin. This has a crispness akin to a showerproof fabric (but is not showerproof). Excellent stability in the width and length allows for easy sewing. Arranged into soft folds and gathers, it will produce a voluminous fullness and elegant drape perfect for dramatic and stylish dresses.
Garment Suggestions:
Make hardwearing, gents and ladies shirts and blouses, traditional smocked and embroidered dresses with individual heirloom style. Why not a classic '50 style Dresses with lined, fitted bodices and softly gathered or pleated skirts? Perfect for lightweight dungarees, and comfy/casual cargo style trousers, also perfect for unlined trench and overcoats/parkas and worker-style jackets such as The Ilford Jacket from The Friday Pattern Co; pleats, gathers and tucks will all fall beautifully in Beautifully Black.
The Megan Nielsen Patterns Protea Capsule Wardrobe will make perfect examples of full-gathered styles for easy, stunning outfits and so versatile!
