OMG.... CAUTION: This is one of those fabrics that may cause shortness of breath! This Italian clipped weave (not a print) cloque' weave brocade from a famous designer is SO exquisite. It is semi-sheer in some places, it has a textured surface that looks like intricate hammered metalwork. It also has a layered quality as the darker flowery shapes are more opaque with a clipped weave. While it's not a metallic fabric, it does have a very dressy look with a slight bit of sheen. The drape is similar to organza or taffeta, with some crispness. The coloring is bronze and black (PANTONE 18-0933...ish), and the pattern has a 37" repeat. Perfect for a special evening garment which requires a fabric that will hold its shape. Some styles will need lining. Dry cleaning recommended.contents: pol/silkwidth: 54"origin: J. Mendel1/Italy
