This Italian-made cotton batiste is airy, lightweight, and semi-sheer, with the crisp softness that makes it ideal for layering or summer dressing. Its fine weave gives it a gentle drape, perfect for blouses, tiered dresses, gathered skirts, or even chic lining for structured garments. The design features a striking geometric motif in cobalt blue, ivory, and black, with interlocking circles and angular lines creating a sense of rhythm and depth—reminiscent of Op Art textiles of the 1960s. Designers such as Emilio Pucci and Ossie Clark famously explored bold, rhythmic prints in lightweight fabrics, making this an ideal choice for those looking to echo that spirit in contemporary fashion. Effortless and graphic, this fabric works beautifully for statement shirting or as part of a capsule summer collection.

Colour Accuracy and Sample Advisory

We stock a huge collection of fabrics and do our best to describe the colour of each piece, both online and when you call us.  Try as we might, we can never guarantee exact colours or colour matching, simply because of the multitude of variations in shade, as well as the way colours and colour settings vary by device and monitor. To make an informed decision on your fabric's colour, texture, weight and movement, we encourage you to order a sample before placing a larger order.
