An expressive cotton stretch with an ornamental pattern reminiscent of historic stained glass, heraldic symbols, and baroque ornamentation. Strong blue, red, black, white, and gold-yellow meet detailed crowns, floral elements, and decorative frames – thanks to the slight elastane content, the fabric remains pleasantly flexible. The smooth cotton surface appears color-intensive and allows the elaborate pattern drawing to stand out particularly clearly. A characterful fabric from Italy for individual garments with a decorative, almost couture-like appearance.

Suggested Uses

Due to the large, very prominent pattern, this cotton stretch fabric by the meter is particularly suitable for garments where the print is deliberately meant to be the focus:

• close-fitting blouses and shirt blouses
• sheath dresses and figure-hugging dresses
• skirts, especially pencil or wrap skirts
• tailored tops and corsets
• striking vests or light jackets
• stage, costume, and event wear

The fabric can also be used as a single statement piece – for example, with an otherwise simple cut that gives the pattern room to shine.

Sewing Instructions & Processing Tips

• Due to the 3% elastane, a stretch or jersey needle is recommended, especially for close-fitting cuts.
• When cutting, attention should be paid to the pattern repeat and the large ornaments. For a harmonious result, motifs can be specifically positioned on the front and back.
• For strongly patterned cuts, it is advisable to first place a paper pattern on the fabric to check the placement of crowns, coats of arms, and floral elements.
• For garments subject to more stress, slightly more generous seam allowances are useful to allow sufficient leeway during processing.

Note on quantity: This is a 40 cm long remnant with a fabric width of 141 cm. This makes the fabric particularly suitable for smaller projects, individual pattern pieces, accessories, or decorative details.
