"I'm a sucker for natural fiber blends.  The hand on the cotton/silks is exquisite.  We had fun naming them for sixties TV characters, if you're wondering."

Cotton satin prints are ideal for summertime dressing.  The slight sheen gives them a kick up from poplin or lawn and the designs are generally pronounced and colorful.  This fabrication sets up well for sun-dresses or sheath dresses.  It also works well for short skirts, skorts, playful shorts or crops.  Have fun with these prints as you create your summer wardrobe.

Stunning floral cluster in deep cantaloupe and coral red is accented in sandy tan. The white ground supports the blossoms and makes a strong statement for summer.

Cotton poplin is a wonderful fabrication for summertime dresses.  It is light weight, yet crisp making it ideal for sundresses or skirts.  Shirts, tops, skorts and shorts are also good possibilities for this printed plain weave.  This duo opens up possibilities for mix and match or mother/daughter or reversible skirts...let your creativity be your guide in buying one of both of the colorways.

We love the whimsy in this playful lollipop floral.  Fuchsia, rich lime, clear lemon and cherry pink scamper across the white ground in an energetic whirlwind.  The scale of this print makes it  perfect for the little ones in your life too.

Ideal for sundresses! The white ground contrasts with wild lime, cherry pink and fuchsia in a delightful display.  Mixed blossoms cascade in clusters as they tumble down the fabric length.  It just says summer!
