From a CA designer and made in France, this fabulous cotton/metal blend should not be confused with a metallic. The extremely fine metal fibers are nearly invisible, but they give body to the drape and allow a sculptural aspect to the fabric, in that it holds its shape. It is not stiff or uncomfortable (you can smooth it out easily), but is more of a textural characteristic. The print is a denimy blue, sea foam and pearl-toned loopy ombre (PANTONE 19-3928, 17-4408, 14-6011) with a 25" repeat. It's a panel without a definitive start and end, so we're selling it by the yard. The fabric is lightweight and semi-opaque and is perfect for a shirt, tunic, dress or skirt. If you wish to hand wash, please test first, and hang to dry.contents: 90cotton/10metalwidth: 55"origin: France
