From a top Italian mill, this is a superb appliqued fabric that takes strips of felted wool, wool lace and silk chiffon, appliques them (vertically-oriented) to a black knit backing, all to create a very artistic yet modern cloth. Even more wonderful and dimensional in real life! It's stable yet has nice drape, making it quite versatile, so it's perfect for a jacket, tunic, cardigan, skirt or dress that will look like it cost a fortune! Dry cleaning recommended.
