This is a beautiful Italian cotton/silk "clip dot" (slightly raised shapes with a bit of fluff around the edges) fabric in a gorgeous red-orange color (17-1644). The weight is like a semi-sheer voile, so it's floaty, soft with a lovely drape. Much more wonderful and dimensional in real life! Perfect for summer blouses, tops, layering. If you want to try hand-washing, but please test first.
