Introduction:

Milady Damask (Rubellite & Jet) - Jewel Jacquard This opulent, silken jacquard, lightweight viscose/acetate twill lining fabric was originally created for a renowned British, ladies and menswear designer, famous for fine occasion wear with a quirky and elegant style, inspired by history and the natural world. We know these exquisite fabrics have excellent versatility.

Colour:

Milady Damask (Rubellite & Jet)  is a finely woven, silken shot-jacquard, lightweight viscose/ acetate and boasts a classical dark damask woven design of elegant scrolls and Fleur de Lys motifs. A deep ruby-claret silken background showcases the fine twill woven jet motifs that sport a hazy antique quality due to the shot weave.

Properties:

Available in a range of rich, jewel-hued multi-tones and designs. Like their SOS Collection, they have excellent versatility, these impeccably woven (not printed) finest quality lightweight, cool and breathable fabrics are just too handsome to be hidden away as linings!

Garment Suggestions:

The dark and regal style of this fabulous damask evokes images of  Alexander Dumas' Three Musketeers and the Femme Fatal "Milady". This quality fabric has a wonderful classic, yet modern style that's divinely opulent and will look equally fabulous for stylish menswear and womenswear too. This silken stunner will appeal to those who love timeless feminine design. The clever jacquard weave produces a varied visual and textural interest that oozes prestige and class. These impeccably woven fabrics can be dual-sided should you choose.

Boasting a super soft, cool silky feel and subtle sheen you would be forgiven for thinking this was silk. This first-rate satin jacquard has a sumptuous hand that is stable width and lengthwise, with a delicious drape. All you have to decide now is what to make...

Milady Damask will of course make a statement lining for your bespoke woollen jackets, waistcoats and coats. You won’t be able to resist showing people your wonderful lining! Why hide this beauty away? You can also create stunning occasion wear pieces; dresses with drape & gathered details, bow-tie blouses & dresses, cowl necked shift dresses, simple dolman sleeved tops and quick-make slashed-neck scarf style tops will all add a hint of luxury to simple jeans and top outfits. Take this elegant wonder and create dramatic '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 A/W occasion wear piece.

Spoil yourself or someone special and create stylish and sumptuous traditional pyjamas with coordinating piped collars and pocket tops. Or the prettiest camisole and shorts set with antique lace and matching kimono robe. Take a look at Vanessa Mooncie's 'The Gentleman's Wardrobe' for a fabulous two-tone gents robe pattern and all the instructions too!

This delightful Designer Jacquard is the perfect choice for lining our new Jewels of Yorkshire and existing HOH woollen fabric collections. The jewel hues in both collections are a match made in heaven!
