Colour:

A palette of sweet French Macaroon hues is artfully woven in fine cotton yarns to form this designer-style cotton suit weight-checked fabric. Springtime lilac, vanilla cream, black liquorice, and cool icing sugar white complete this city check conjuring images of a chic mademoiselle wearing a neat French couture suit whilst purchasing sweet lilac macaroons!

Properties:

Lilac Time City Checkis woven in superfine lustrous cotton yarns to form a lightly textured close twill weave, where the characteristic diagonals strike through the classic district-checked design like lustrous ribbons. This suit/separates weight fabric is stable width and length-wise with slight natural bias ease, a reassuring drape quality, and soft enough to form less structured styles - making it perfect for a wide range of styles.

Garment Suggestions:

Create the perfect French Couture collarless jacket with a matching neat pencil skirt, chic trousers, cigar pants, or wide-legged, pleat front trousers like our Pattern Stash- Cordelia trousers. If dresses are more your style, create neat shift dresses or pinafore dresses. Add a pleated skirt detail for a '60s Mary Quant style or keep it simple with body-skimming darts- there are so many ways of adding individual style- button tabs, half belts, etc.

For an alternative style try bias cutting or draping to create Viv Westwood style, drape and tuck dresses and skirts.

Other Uses:

Create a more casual utility style - overshirts and shackets with useful pockets!

Use all your offcuts for accessories- hats, caps, and bags!
