Like their SOS fabric cousins, 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!

Colour:

Cascading Jewels (Amethyst) Jewel Jacquard is a finely woven, lightweight viscose/acetate and boasts a cleverly woven design of fine chevrons which (cascade like a river down the fabric). The design is accentuated with golden diamond shapes and gleaming emerald quatrefoils which appear like studded gems cascading throughout. This quality woven fabric has a wonderful classic style that will appeal to those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Properties:

Whether you're dapper and dandy or have a regal air, this stunner will make you feel indulged. Coordinate this stunning silken jacquard fabric with Dandy Satin Stripes for a lavish maximalist style to create fantastic block-panelled garments with red carpet glamour- try contrasting yokes, cuffs, collars or more striking looks using clashing/colour-blocking panels for a runway-inspired look. This will of course compliment rich and opulent autumn-winter woollen pieces, from finely tailored pieces to accessories and Jemima Waistcoats. Add a pop of opulence to your usual black key pieces. 

Boasting a super soft, cool silky feel and subtle sheen you would be forgiven for thinking this was silk. This first-rate fabric has a lightweight yet sumptuous hand that is stable width and lengthwise, with a delicious drape and excellent body which will form exquisite full gathers and pleats. All you have to decide now is what to make...

Garment Suggestions:

Cascading Jewels will of course make a statement lining for your bespoke woollen jackets, coats, waistcoats, blazers and shift/pinafore dresses. You won’t be able to resist showing people your wonderful lining! Add statement silken backs to your waistcoats and show off this beauty! Why hide it away?

You can also create stunning occasion wear pieces; dresses with drape & gathered details, bow-tie blouses & 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 glam inspired, puffed full-sleeve shirts with deep cuffs and matching cover buttons. Extend this style into gathered tiered-skirted dresses, (Friday Pattern Co's the Wildergown and Stitchless Tv's Pontoon Tier Dress are ideal patterns) wear with a simple underslip for an added layer and this will become one of your A/W favourites.
