Stylized painterly abstract celebrating florals and envisioning fantasmagorical flowers as a work of art. The original artist's design was drawn in soft colored pencils in rich color saturated jewel tones on a dark green background, digitally printed in Italy. Lightweight, opaque, with a cool, dry crepe hand and fluid liquid drape. Right for a dress, tunic, shirt, floaty jacket, soft pants, kimono, caftan. One way design, 24" repeat.
Silk is washable. If you want to maintain the original sheen and texture, hand launder and air dry or dry clean*. If you want a more textured crinkled look, toss in the washer dryer. I like to toss silk in the washer/dryer, which makes it a bit more cotton-y, kicks back the silky shine and creates lovely all-over crinkles. I take it out of the dryer when it is just a bit damp, smooth it out, give a light press. You can then sew and press, and it will retain the soft crinkles. After sewing, machine wash gentle, either air dry or toss in the dryer until just damp, pull out and smooth the edges. Silk is an ideal year round fabric because it is a natural insulator, warm when layered, cool and airy in warm weather.
If you want to wash, hand launder in cool water, air dry, press. *Marcy says, I have not used a dry cleaner in 20+ years.
