Dusky pink stretch cotton twill fabric with a refined weave. Perfect for skirts, jackets & trousers with versatility & style. Also, trench coat heaven.
We heard you’ve been enjoying our cotton twill fabrics so we hope you’ll fall in love as we have with our latest, this dusky pink stretch cotton twill fabric. This is a beautifully-refined cotton twill – another of our Italian finds – and we think it’s the perfect choice for spring and summer.
Our elegant dusky pink stretch cotton twill fabric is a resilient medium-weight twill with the characteristic diagonal weave structure you’d expect.
This twill has a very smooth handle due to its fine weave. It will be comfortable to wear next to the skin as a pair of trousers, a skirt or even a dress; it’s breatheable too.
As you might expect, this is a crisp, well-structured cotton twill which holds a shape well. There’s just a little elastane in the composition; not enough for a full-on stretch but just enough to help with fitting and ease of movement in the finished garment. You can see how it moves and stretches in this video.
You won’t need to line trousers made from this dusky pink stretch cotton twill fabric. Likewise a jacket or coat could be constructed without a lining providing you finished the seams with binding. However a more fitted jacket would benefit from a lining to help with structure. A skirt or dress may also need lining in order to help with movement across the body, especially over hosiery.
A jacket with a close fit to the back and waist looks neat and satisfying – and a classic cloth with a little give such as this dusky pink stretch cotton twill fabric would be just great in that role. Trousers or shorts would be a home-run too more tailored or casual but closely-fitted designs as well as chino cuts would all be perfect for this fabric. If you’re up for a big-ticket item however, then consider a trench coat. The ‘Isla’ Trench Coat pattern from Named Clothing would be a match made in heaven we think.
