Dazzling in a dusty way, our Metallic Rose and Warm Gray Large-Scale Burnout Floral Luxury Brocade seeks a date for the ballet! Oh-so-dreamy, inspiration slips in naturally. To be caught up in its lavish facing and crisp hand, a tactile experience proves inevitable: Long petals, flattened into highlights and shadows, show as bright, bulbous forms juxtaposed with patches of muted, fibrous yarns. Channeling stratus clouds sprinkled with metallic, these forms ripple and wave in concentrated areas of the composition. Characteristic of devore (burnout), the sheer moments are windows of opportunities; here, presenting a crinkled face with a shimmering complexion, one can see through to the linty loose ends on its reverse face as they cast halos around the floral motifs. And, teeming with varying degrees of luster, Lurex® threads slide through the organza backdrop in a horizontal fashion. Overall boasting a stiff body, this medium is well equipped for silhouettes of few seams that do not rely on drape. Best for formal occasions: Sew up some ball gowns or hula-hoop skirts; go all out in overzealous, bulbous ensembles; nominate it for overlay applications; and more. Mainly translucent and of a light-to-medium weight, incorporating a lining fabric will grant true opacity as well as help to avoid slippage at the seams.
