Mood Fabrics Exclusive Growing Distant Stretch Cotton Sateen

Blowing in with br-ease, our Mood Exclusive Black Beauty Growing Distant Stretch Cotton Sateen eases in like an old friend! Hopeful flowers of skinny stems sprout upwards (parallel to the selvage), breaking for about 9”—allowing a gentle breeze of outcasted flowers to wrap-up this very surreal scene; and as “...the sight sinks deeply into one's being... one feels ‘Oh! for a friend with whom to share this!’”. And, who wouldn’t want to share this gem? With its anti-static make-up, breathability, knack for drawing perspiration away from the body, and wrinkle-resistant surface, it is quite the dream! Specially constructed with a satin weave, twisted staple fibers combine with elastomeric fibers—producing a crosswise stretch of about 10%—while weft yarns floating over (at least four) warp yarns create a hint of luster and smooth surface, (overall similar to a twill weave without yielding a diagonal ridge). “...being pleasing to the eye and at the same time useful for all sorts of purposes…” translate this stunning beauty into countless silhouettes—taking inspiration from its semi-stiff, flexible drape (and the poetic writings of Yoshida Kenko!): Sew together body-hugging looks such as a blouse or sheath dress with a billowing peplum, high-waisted wide leg trousers, shirt dresses, and more! Also great for A-line garments, check out The Cypress Dress free sewing pattern (made from cotton sateen!) offered on our Mood Sewciety blog. Opaque, a lining is not of necessity. Find this in
