Introduction:

Infinite Flamingos - Cotton Sateen Designer Shirting is a top-notch ex-designer, cotton sateen fabric perfect for creating cross-seasonal cool, silky cotton garments and much more. A clever intricate tiled design of tiny flamingos is printed upon this flawless optic white cotton sateen. 

Colour:

Infinite Flamingos is created from bright optic white - Turkish cotton yarns woven in a super smooth sateen weave which creates the ideal background for the juiciest candy pink of the flamingos. The overall hue created is a wonderfully sweet pink. The colour is sweet but the design has a geometric, almost origami-style which has Escher-like vibes suitable for all the family.

Properties:

High thread count, all cotton sateen fabric, is cool, breathable, super soft and has a stable hand, with a soft and sumptuous drape quality which displays a subtle lustre when presented to the light. When gathered or pleated it will form excellent fullness, perfect for a multitude of styles from; tiered and ruffled, or pleated styles, to classic shirts.

Garment Suggestions:
