The foliage is a fresh mid green rather than the muted sages you usually see on a dark floral, and that is what keeps the whole print looking alive instead of heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNavy and pink is the pairing that never stops selling.\u003c\/strong\u003e It has been in and out of every fabric shop for fifty years and it still looks right, which makes it a safe cut if you are making something you want to wear for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dark ground does the same job here as black does. It holds the colours up, hides marks, and works for modest wear, but navy sits softer against the face than black and is easier to wear in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt also crosses seasons.\u003c\/strong\u003e The fresh greens and pinks read like spring even though the depth of the navy suits winter, so this is one you can cut into in either half of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a viscose, so it is cool against the skin, soft to handle, and it drapes close to the body rather than standing away from it. It gathers without bulking at the seams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 inches wide, sold in metres and cut as one continuous length.\u003c\/strong\u003e Order three metres and it arrives as a single three metre piece, not three separate cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to make with it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxi and midi dresses, blouses, abayas, kameez and shalwar, tiered and gathered skirts, wide leg trousers, kimono jackets, dupattas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you cut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-wash, because viscose shrinks on its first wash and you want that happening before the pieces are cut. Wash cool, hang to dry, and expect it back slightly narrower. The roses are large and spaced, so lay your pieces out and check where the biggest blooms land, particularly on the bust and the seat. Cut single layer with pattern weights or plenty of pins. The cut edges fray, so overlock or zigzag your seam allowances early. Use a fine needle, and mark with a white or silver pencil, since chalk is hard to see on a dark ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machine wash cool on a delicate cycle, hang to dry, never tumble dry and never wring it. Press on a medium heat while slightly damp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M Textiles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56188573647190,"sku":null,"price":7.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1045\/5426\/6966\/files\/D1F006D8-BD5A-4960-8E94-0233A3767184.jpg?v=1792979945","url":"https:\/\/mtextilesltd.com\/products\/navy-rose-viscose-fabric-60-wide-sold-in-meters","provider":"M Textiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
