Introduction:

Moonlit Bamboo Leaf Print - Cotton Poplin Designer Shirting is a super stylish ex-designer fabric perfect for creating garments to get you in a holiday mood! The elegant printed design of white moonlight shining on bamboo leaves against a midnight sky has a smart-casual style reminiscent of Hawaiian shirts and summer beach wear.

Colour:

Moonlit Bamboo Leaf Print is created from fine optic white, Turkish cotton yarns and is printed with midnight navy, using negative space to create the featured design of elegant bamboo leaves of sparkling white like silver moonlight.

Navy blue and white combinations are all-time winners for favourite bespoke-made summer clothing. All you need is to decide what you will make. Add some red accents and accessories for a colour-popping combination worthy of movie star style!

Properties:

This cool, high thread count all cotton poplin is cool, breathable, soft and has a stable hand, with a soft drape quality too. When gathered it will form excellent fullness, perfect for tiered and ruffled, full styles on skirts, trousers dresses and blouse sleeves.
