Charcoal blossoms grace the pearlescent background of Mood's Metallic Black and White Alyssum Rosy Luxury Brocade, a smokescreen of puffed petals. Textured in hand, the metallic threads are tacky and slightly scratchy while providing an excellent shine across the face. Without stretch and incredibly graceful, create ball gowns, semi-fitted dresses with flared skirts, and blazers with its quickly falling, voluminous drape. Mostly translucent, the flowers do offer a slightly raised opacity, although not by much. A lining is recommended for increased opacity and comfort. Please note, this fabric weighs 104 GSM.
