Introduction:

This smooth, chic, smart, timeless pinstripe fabric reminds us of 40s / 50s style fitted wiggle dresses and sharp collared suits of an era where dressing to impress was effortless.

Colour:

Classic navy blue – almost black is woven alongside super fine pinstripes of sky blue for a classic touch. These timeless tones never date and are easily dressed up or down.

Properties:

This finely woven, suiting fabric has the softest feel, and is woven in superfine yarns that have a silky lustrous sheen, that showcases the fine blue parallel pinstripes (spaced at 4mm intervals). The superfine twill weave provides a smooth almost sateen- like, flawless finish for the pinstripes to create understated drama.

Pinstripe and Pearls has a slight ease (thanks to a little elastane) to it but is stable width and lengthwise, and boasts a sophisticated, medium weight drape which begs for elegant attire. After all, suiting is not just for suits!

Put this fabulous easy- wear, easy-care fabric to use for super smart work attire such as wide-legged Audrey Hepburn/Marlene Dietrich-style trousers, culottes and classic pleat fronted trousers, neat pencil skirts, dresses and fit & flare dresses. Utilise the excellent drape quality and add feminine ruffle details to your skirts and dresses: peplums and fish tail hemlines – perfect on ’50s style wiggle dresses. Neat shift dresses and pinafores will become key work wear pieces when made in this hard-working fabric. Add a pale blue shirt to bring out the pinstripes and you are good to go!
