Chocolate Retro Swirl Cotton Dress Fabric | Sold by the Metre

Chocolate Retro Swirl Cotton Dress Fabric

A flowing chocolate-brown ribbon motif on cream, edged with fine dotted linework, repeating in soft interlocking curves. It is closer to a 1970s furnishing pattern than a floral, and it is genuinely distinctive.

The cloth is a light summer cotton at 60 inches (152cm) across the roll. It takes a hot iron, handles gathering and shirring well, and behaves predictably under the machine, which is what most dressmakers want from a print like this.

What to make with it: Works well as blouses, wide trousers, kimono jackets, headscarves and retro-styled dresses.

Because it is a natural fibre, it breathes properly in heat rather than trapping it, which matters on anything worn all day in summer. It also takes dye well, so the printed colours here sit deep in the cloth instead of on the surface.

Fabric Information
We do our best to accurately identify and describe all fabrics based on our experience within the textile industry, supplier information, and customer feedback. As some fabrics are sourced from various suppliers and may not always come with detailed manufacturing specifications, exact fibre compositions cannot always be guaranteed. Any composition information provided should therefore be considered our best estimate unless otherwise stated. If you require precise composition details for a particular application, please contact us before purchasing and we will do our best to assist. Fabric can be used for dresses, blouses or Asian suites.

Care Instructions
To help minimise shrinkage and ensure the best results, we recommend washing or pre-treating the fabric before cutting and sewing. As with many natural and regenerated fibres, slight shrinkage may occur after the first wash. Always test a small piece where possible and follow suitable washing instructions for your intended use.

Colour Disclaimer
Please note that colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings, device, and lighting conditions.
