I love this pleated floral woven imported from Italy! The pleats run from selvedge to selvedge, and your garment should probably be cut that way too (so that the pleats run lengthwise). I have shown how the fabric drapes in both directions. It's a very lightweight and semi-sheer poly crepe (less sheer because of the tight pleating), with lots of drape when the pleats go lengthwise. The delightful floral has a eucalyptus green, dusty rose, blush and mocha tones (PANTONE 16-1720, 13-1010, and the green is between 16-5112 and 16-5106). Soft and summery, perfect for tops, tunic, skirt, dress, etc. If you would like to hand wash at home, please test first.
