For the sentimental, fashion something exquisite out of our Mood Exclusive Black Beauty Mono No Aware Cotton Voile! From the Mood Exclusive Kenko Collection: Crisp with an ultra-soft feel, this lightweight wonder expresses a matte complexion across its digitally-printed facing. Animated as if being worn, relaxed denim jackets and be-dazzled bombers swirl around the faded-black backdrop with lime-green and red-purple floral motifs pasted over, composing a surreal scene; and as “...the sight sinks deeply into one's being... one feels ‘Oh! for a friend with whom to share this!'”. And, who wouldn't want to share this gem? With its anti-static make-up, breathability, and knack for drawing perspiration away from the body, it is quite the dream! Specially constructed with a compact plain weave, cylindrical-combed yarns (made up of fibers groomed to be straight) run attentively parallel to each other, comprising a strong material with a smooth surface. “...being pleasing to the eye and at the same time useful for all sorts of purposes…” translate this stunning beauty into countless silhouettes—taking inspiration from its fluid, billowy drape (and the poetic writings of Yoshida Kenko!): Sew together free-flowing looks, figuring full garments such as a dress with a key-hole neckline, a tank or top perfect for lounging around in, even bring it to drapery, and more! Also great for A-line garments, check out The Bluebell Dress free sewing pattern (made from cotton voile!) offered on our Mood Sewciety blog. Very sheer; a lining is necessary for increasing opacity.
