A striking tropical floral print in rich cobalt blue against a pale cream background. Large hibiscus-like flowers, lush palm leaves, and smaller blossoms overlap in different shades of blue, creating a bold, almost painterly effect.
The limited color palette keeps the busy botanical design surprisingly cohesive. A beautiful statement fabric for garments with a little more structure.
Hand & Drape
A substantial cotton fabric weighing approximately 280gsm, with a firm hand and excellent body. Unlike lightweight floral cottons, this fabric holds its shape rather than falling into soft, flowing folds.
It has some stretch across the width, offering a little flexibility while maintaining its structured character. The heavier construction makes it better suited to tailored or sculptural silhouettes than delicate, gathered garments.
Suggested Projects
Particularly suitable for statement jackets, cropped boxy jackets, structured trousers, and A-line skirts.
For dresses, consider a sleeveless shift dress, a structured pinafore, or an autumn/winter dress with a fitted bodice and gently flared skirt. The bold tropical print could also make a striking short coat-style jacket.
Simple silhouettes would work especially well, allowing the large-scale floral pattern to take center stage.
