Blue Watercolour Floral Cotton Dress Fabric | Sold by the Metre

Blue Watercolour Floral Cotton Dress Fabric

Soft-edged blue and lilac blooms bleeding into a cream ground, printed to look like watercolour on wet paper. There are no hard outlines anywhere in the design, which gives it a gentle, painterly finish.

The base is a light cotton woven at 60 inches (about 152cm) wide, so you get considerably more usable cloth per metre than the 44-inch quilting cottons most UK shops stock. It presses to a sharp crease and holds a gathered seam without collapsing.

What to make with it: Lovely as blouses, wrap dresses, scarves and lightweight summer layers where drape matters more than structure.

The width is worth planning around. At 60 inches you can often lay a full circle skirt or a pair of wide trousers on a single width, which saves both cloth and the awkward centre-back seam that narrower fabrics force on you.

• Fabric: Cotton
• Width: 60 inches / approx. 152cm

A pre-wash before cutting allows for any first-wash shrinkage and is worth doing on every dressmaking project. Sold by the metre and cut continuously. Order a 6x6 inch sample first if you would rather see the colour in person before buying a full length.

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.

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