Tropical Print Italian Rayon Challis Deadstock - Turquoise + Yellow
This gorgeously silky Italian viscose deadstock radiates tropical chic. Its bold yellow background creates an ideal stage for green, blue, and purple palms and parrots to frolic, lending it a Midnight At the Oasis kind of glitz. Its flowy drape and silky, gently textured hand coupled with its light weight make it comfortable even in the hottest climes, and oh-so-wonderfully swishy. We see it as anything light and unstructured, from flowy dresses to statement wide-legged trousers and beyond. Semi-opaque, it may require a lining for some applications.
Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them.
Viscose, rayon, and tencel have a tendency to shrink quite a bit, so we suggest washing at least once to remove as much shrinkage before sewing. Wash in cool water on the delicate cycle, and line dry or tumble dry on low. Finished garments should be hand washed with cool water to ensure minimal shrinkage. Use a medium iron when pressing.
