I actually ordered a swatch of this beautiful fabric. I wanted to see and feel it before purchasing yardage. It is a little more then I normally spend, but will splurge for a special occasion dress or outfit. It is a bit translucent, so a lining may be necessary
This fabric is a lovely cotton with a soft hand that is just crisp enough for some lovely pleating and gathering. I made a fit-and-flare dress with it. My only issue with it is that it is printed in such a way that leaves the fabric white on the inside, so if you get a little pull or snag, it will show through, not to mention the fuzz after washing. It might be a factor of my age; I remember when a black printed fabric would not have been white on the other side.
Even though the bottom was too small for my coat, I can use on another article later. It would be nice to show sizing ( show the crystal picture compared to another button) ......
Thinner than expected, I just didn't do a great job reading the fabric description. One of those stretchy drapes that makes you feel like you can't work with large pieces (I'm sure you can, I just have knit anxiety). Very beautiful supple drape, pleasant hand, and rich black color.
Worked okay for a lining in my dress but maybe wasn't the best choice.
Lovely shade of blue and just what I wanted. The weight was perfect for making shoulder ties (basically huge ribbons) and for a polyester fabric, it didn't ravel too badly at all. Also used as a lining where it performed exactly as needed!
This lining always gives great results, but it is NOT white, but just slightly gray. It was used to line a white wool/silk jacket, so the color was acceptable, but definitely noticeable.

Fabric is soft, easy to sew with. Great pattern and colors for fall. I sewed a pair of pleated trousers - worked out really well.
