Delft Blue Medallion Cotton Dress Fabric | Sold by the Metre

Delft Blue Medallion Cotton Dress Fabric

Cobalt-blue medallions and scrolling foliage on a white ground, drawn in the manner of Delft and willow-pattern china. The linework is fine and the repeat is regular, so it behaves well on structured pieces.

It is printed on a lightweight summer-weight cotton, 60 inches (roughly 152cm) wide, which is broad enough that most dress bodices and skirt panels cut from a single width with very little waste. The cloth has a dry, crisp handle straight off the roll and softens noticeably after the first wash.

What to make with it: Strong on shirt dresses, tunics, wide-leg trousers, Asian suits and home furnishing projects.

The 60-inch width is the main practical reason to buy cotton here rather than from a high-street haberdashery. Most printed cottons in the UK are sold at 44 inches, which means an extra half metre or more on a full skirt; at this width you usually cut the same garment from noticeably less cloth.

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.
