A beautiful abstract motif reminiscent of nature lively vibrantly on this lightweight and opaque brocade fabric. This very shimmery brocade has silver threads running throughout and is a bit textural to the touch. It can be lined if wearing close to the skin and has a soft drape. It has no give and can be delicately sewn to create wonderfully flowing gowns with pretty flourishes in all the right places. Definitely decorative, this fabric is a fabulous option for embellishments on warm weather styles as well as on its own for creating custom summer outfits to sing about. Does have a designated face, but the reverse side could also be used depending on personal preference.
